About

The ALLEGHENY ENERGY STORAGE project is a proposed 353.2 MW battery storage development in Contra Costa County, California. The project is located within the CAISO region and is interconnected with Pacific Gas & Electric (PGAE). It entered the CAISO interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-1872 on April 15, 2021, with a proposed commercial operation date of September 20, 2032. Its interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase.

The ALLEGHENY ENERGY STORAGE project has been the subject of recent news coverage, with 18 articles appearing in the press. These articles primarily focus on regulatory and industry aspects of the project.

Development Risk

Realization risk from now to commercial operation — financing close, EPC and tax-equity counterparty mix, and COD probability vs the proposed date. The diligence view that determines whether the deal actually closes. Powered by InfraSure's development-stage modeling stack.
