About

The SANBORN HYBRID 4 project is a proposed 100 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Kern County, California. The development project consists of 50 MW of solar photovoltaic generation and a 50 MW battery energy storage system. The project is interconnected to the CAISO grid at the Windhub Substation 230kV and is in the CAISO interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-1790, with an entry date of April 15, 2020. The proposed commercial operation date is October 1, 2025, and the Interconnection Agreement has been executed.

The SANBORN HYBRID 4 project has been the subject of recent news coverage.
