About

The JOVE SOLAR project is a proposed 4132.6 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development in La Paz County, Arizona. The project, under development by DCRT, consists of a 2042.4 MW solar array coupled with a 2090.2 MW battery energy storage system. It is located within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) region and is interconnected at the Cielo Azul Substation 500 kV.

The project entered the CAISO interconnection queue on April 15, 2021, under queue ID CAISO-2023, with a proposed commercial operation date of January 26, 2030. Its current interconnection status is System Impact Study. The JOVE SOLAR project has been the subject of recent news coverage, including 3 articles related to regulatory matters and 1 article related to development.
