About

YELLOW PINE 3 is a proposed 516.93 MW hybrid Solar+Battery project located in Clark County, Nevada. The development project consists of a 261.95 MW solar array coupled with a 254.98 MW battery energy storage system. The project, assigned queue ID CAISO-1654, is in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) interconnection queue. Its queue entry date is April 15, 2019, and the proposed commercial operation date is December 1, 2026. The interconnection agreement (IA) was executed on March 1, 2023.

The interconnection point of contact is the Trout Canyon Substation 230 kV. YELLOW PINE 3 has been mentioned in recent news coverage, with five articles categorized as deals, industry, and regulatory matters.
