The Las Camas 3 project is a proposed 202.5 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Merced County, California. The project consists of a 102.5 MW solar array coupled with a 100 MW battery energy storage system. It is interconnected within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) queue as queue ID CAISO-1456. The project entered the queue on April 16, 2018, and has a proposed commercial operation date of December 31, 2027.
The interconnection agreement (IA) for Las Camas 3 has been executed as of March 28, 2022. The point of interconnection (POI) is the Los Banos 230 kV substation. The project is currently listed as active in the CAISO interconnection queue. Recent news coverage has discussed the project's progress.
