The Goldback Solar Center is a proposed 500 MW battery storage project in Ventura County, California. The project, located within the CAISO region and under the utility Southern California Edison (SCE), consists entirely of battery storage. It is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-1619, with an interconnection queue entry date of April 15, 2019, and a proposed commercial operation date of March 31, 2026.
The project's Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed as of June 21, 2021. The point of interconnection (POI) is the Moorpark Substation 230 kV. The Goldback Solar Center development has been the subject of recent news coverage.
