About

The JANUS project is a proposed 163.54 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Colusa County, California. The development project consists of an 83.54 MW solar component and an 80 MW battery energy storage system. It is interconnected to the PG&E utility network within the CAISO region.

The project, identified as CAISO-1455 in the CAISO interconnection queue, entered the queue on April 16, 2018, and has a proposed commercial operation date of March 1, 2027. The interconnection agreement (IA) for the project has been executed. The point of interconnection (POI) is the Cortina 60 kV substation. The project has been mentioned in recent news coverage related to the energy industry.
