CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration filed for 250MW battery storage construction and operation
sourceThe Commerce Energy Storage project is a proposed 250 MW battery storage development in Los Angeles County, California. The project is located in the CAISO region and interconnects to Southern California Edison (SCE) at the Laguna Bell Substation 230kV. It entered the CAISO interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-1611 on April 15, 2019, with a proposed commercial operation date of June 1, 2026. An Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on January 12, 2022.
The project consists of 250 MW of battery storage capacity. The Commerce Energy Storage project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
