The Commerce Energy Storage 2 project is a proposed 250 MW battery storage project located in Los Angeles County, California. The project is in the CAISO interconnection queue (CAISO-1766) with a queue entry date of April 15, 2020, and a proposed commercial operation date of March 15, 2026. The project's interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase, with the study initiated on January 31, 2023. The point of interconnection is the Laguna Bell Substation at 230kV, and the utility is Southern California Edison (SCE).
The development project has been the subject of recent news coverage, with 12 articles appearing in the press. These articles cover topics such as deals, industry trends, project development, and regulatory matters.
