The KESTREL STORAGE project is a proposed 200 MW battery storage project located in Los Angeles County, California. The project is being developed within the CAISO interconnection queue under queue ID CAISO-1615. Its queue entry date is April 15, 2019, and the proposed commercial operation date is February 28, 2027. An Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed for the project on June 18, 2021. The point of interconnection is the Walnut Substation at 220kV, and the utility is SCE.
The KESTREL STORAGE project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
