The proposed SUNBAKED SOLAR project is a 1023.64 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development in Inyo County, California. The project consists of a 508.56 MW solar array coupled with a 515.08 MW battery energy storage system. It is located within the CAISO region and is interconnected to the Trout Canyon Substation at 230 kV.
SUNBAKED SOLAR entered the CAISO interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-2149 on April 15, 2021, with a proposed commercial operation date of February 26, 2029. The project's interconnection agreement has been executed. The transmission provider is GLW.
