The proposed BPA-G0478 project is a 500 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development in Morrow County, Oregon. The project consists of a 300 MW solar array coupled with a 200 MW battery energy storage system. It is located in the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) service area within the Western interconnection region.
The project is currently in the BPA interconnection queue with an entry date of September 6, 2012 and a proposed commercial operation date of November 1, 2016. Its interconnection status is listed as "Facility Study". The point of interconnection (POI) is BPA's proposed Longhorn 500/230 kV Substation.
