The Escondido Energy Center 2 is a proposed 33 MW battery storage project located in San Diego County, California. The project is interconnected within the CAISO queue under queue ID CAISO-1048. The project entered the queue on April 30, 2014, and has a proposed commercial operation date of June 1, 2030.
The project's Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on January 3, 2024. The proposed point of interconnection is the Escondido Substation 69 kV. This development is linked to the existing Escondido Energy Storage operating plant (EIA plant ID 60570). Recent news coverage has discussed the project.
