About

The SONRISA project is a proposed 384 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Fresno County, California. The project consists of a 200 MW solar array coupled with a 184 MW battery energy storage system. It is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-1391, with an initial queue entry date of May 1, 2017. The proposed commercial operation date is December 31, 2026.

The project has an executed interconnection agreement (IA) dated September 2, 2020, and interconnects to the PGAE grid at the Tranquility 230 kV point of interconnection. The project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
