The Crystal Flats project is a proposed 154.86 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development in Kern County, California. The project, located within the CAISO region and interconnected with PG&E, consists of a 103.45 MW solar array and a 51.4 MW battery energy storage system. It is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as CAISO-1744, with an entry date of April 15, 2020, and a proposed commercial operation date of December 26, 2030.
The Crystal Flats project has an Interconnection Agreement (IA) executed on January 9, 2024. The point of interconnection is the Lamont 115 kV substation. The project is currently listed as active in the interconnection queue.
