The Wildhorse Energy Center is a proposed 121.55 MW battery storage project located in Sonoma County, California. The project, under development in the CAISO region, consists entirely of battery storage. It is interconnected to the PGAE utility grid at the Fulton 230 kV point of interconnection.
The project, identified as CAISO-1846 in the CAISO interconnection queue, entered the queue on April 15, 2021. Its proposed commercial operation date is May 4, 2030, and its interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase. The Wildhorse Energy Center has been the subject of recent news coverage, with eight articles focusing on regulatory and industry aspects of the project.
