The Cornucopia Hybrid project is a proposed solar and battery energy storage development located in Fresno County, California. The project, with a total capacity of 604.63 MW, consists of a 303.68 MW solar array coupled with a 300.95 MW battery energy storage system. It is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue under queue ID CAISO-1959.
The project entered the CAISO queue on April 15, 2021, with a proposed commercial operation date of November 16, 2030. The interconnection agreement has been executed. The point of interconnection is the Gates-Templeton 230 kV Line, and Pacific Gas and Electric (PGAE) is the utility. The project has been the subject of recent news coverage related to regulatory matters.
