The Gonzaga Hybrid project is a proposed wind and battery energy storage project located in Merced County, California. The development project, with a total capacity of 115.39 MW, consists of a 60.45 MW wind farm and a 54.94 MW battery energy storage system.
The project is in the CAISO interconnection queue as entry CAISO-1718, with a queue entry date of April 15, 2020. The proposed commercial operation date is March 31, 2026, and the Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed. The point of interconnection is the Los Banos 70 kV substation. The interconnecting utility is PG&E.
