The Silver Star Solar project is a proposed 1033.53 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Nye County, Nevada. The development project consists of 516.76 MW of solar photovoltaic generation paired with 516.76 MW of battery energy storage. The project is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as entry CAISO-2142, with a queue entry date of April 15, 2021, and a proposed commercial operation date of December 1, 2028. The interconnection agreement status is listed as "In Progress (unknown study)".
The proposed project is interconnected to the grid at the Lathrop Wells Substation 230 kV. The project has appeared in recent news coverage related to industry and regulatory matters.
