About

The PASTORIA SOLAR project is a proposed hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Kern County, California. The development project, with a total capacity of 186.88 MW, consists of a 106.88 MW solar component and an 80 MW battery energy storage system. The project is in the CAISO interconnection queue as entry CAISO-1335, with a queue entry date of May 2, 2016, and a proposed commercial operation date of May 4, 2026.

The interconnection agreement for the PASTORIA SOLAR project with Southern California Edison (SCE) was executed on December 4, 2018. The point of interconnection is the Pastoria Substation at 230kV. The project has been mentioned in recent news coverage related to grid infrastructure.
