sourceThe proposed HOODINI project is a 572.17 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development project located in Yuma County, Arizona. The project consists of a 459.54 MW solar component and a 112.63 MW battery energy storage system. It is interconnected to the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) utility via the Hoodoo Wash Switchyard 500 kV.
The project is in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) interconnection queue as entry CAISO-1663, with a queue entry date of April 15, 2019. The proposed commercial operation date is January 31, 2028. The project's interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase.
