The SANDRIFT STORAGE 1 project is a proposed battery storage project located in Riverside County, California, with a total capacity of 254.77 MW. The project is in the CAISO interconnection queue (queue ID CAISO-2039) as of April 15, 2021, and has a proposed commercial operation date of December 26, 2030. The project's interconnection point is the Red Bluff Substation at 230 kV.
The SANDRIFT STORAGE 1 project's interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase. The project is interconnected with Southern California Edison (SCE) within the CAISO region. Recent news coverage has discussed the project's progress and potential impact on the grid.
