sourceThe Lycan Solar project is a proposed 800 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project in Riverside County, California. The project consists of 400 MW of solar photovoltaic generation and 400 MW of battery energy storage. It is interconnected to Southern California Edison (SCE) via the Red Bluff Substation 500kV.
The project is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as CAISO-1643, with an initial queue entry date of April 15, 2019. The proposed commercial operation date is April 1, 2030, and the Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on April 13, 2023. The Lycan Solar project has been the subject of recent news coverage.
