About

The White Wing Ranch Solar project is a proposed 400 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development in Yuma County, Arizona. The project, located within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) region, consists of 200 MW of solar photovoltaic generation and 200 MW of battery storage. The project is interconnected to the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) utility at the Hoodoo Wash Switchyard 500 kV.

The project entered the CAISO interconnection queue on April 30, 2014, assigned queue ID CAISO-1062. Its proposed commercial operation date is June 1, 2026, and the Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed. The White Wing Ranch Solar project has been the subject of recent news coverage.
