CIMARRON WIND is a proposed wind generation project with a total capacity of 352.5 MW, located in Tecate County, Mexico. Interconnection is planned with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) via the East County Substation 230 kV. The project is listed in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) queue as entry CAISO-1660, with a queue entry date of April 15, 2019, and a proposed commercial operation date of December 31, 2025. The interconnection agreement (IA) has been executed as of December 21, 2023.
The CIMARRON WIND project has been the subject of recent news coverage, with seven articles categorized as deals, industry, and development.
