About

The KINGSLEY SOLAR FARM is a proposed project located in Imperial County, California, within the CAISO region. This hybrid development, consisting of both solar and battery storage, has a total capacity of 720 MW. The project is composed of 360 MW of solar generation and 360 MW of battery energy storage.

The project, identified by queue ID CAISO-1665, entered the CAISO interconnection queue on April 15, 2019, with a proposed commercial operation date of January 31, 2030. The interconnection agreement (IA) has been executed. The point of interconnection (POI) is the Imperial Valley Substation 230 kV. The project is interconnected with SDGE.

Development Risk

Realization risk from now to commercial operation — financing close, EPC and tax-equity counterparty mix, and COD probability vs the proposed date. The diligence view that determines whether the deal actually closes. Powered by InfraSure's development-stage modeling stack.
