About

The proposed PHAENON project is a 204.02 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development in Kern County, California. The project, located within the CAISO region and interconnected with PG&E, consists of a 102.25 MW solar array and a 101.76 MW battery energy storage system.

PHAENON is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-1983, with an entry date of April 15, 2021. The proposed commercial operation date is July 18, 2029. The project's interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase, and the point of interconnection is the Shafter 115 kV substation.
