The Water Rock Solar 2 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 storage. The project is in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-2146, with an entry date of April 15, 2021. The proposed commercial operation date is December 1, 2028.
The interconnection status of Water Rock Solar 2 is currently in the System Impact Study phase. The point of interconnection is the Gamebird Substation at 230 kV. The project has been featured in recent news coverage related to industry and development.
