The PATHFINDER STORAGE project is a proposed 268.06 MW battery storage project located in San Joaquin County, California. The project is in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) interconnection queue as entry CAISO-1896, with a queue entry date of April 15, 2021. The proposed commercial operation date is June 5, 2031, and the Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed.
The project, which interconnects with Pacific Gas and Electric (PGAE) at the Weber 60 kV point of interconnection, has been the subject of recent news coverage.
