About

The ALISA SOLAR ENERGY COMPLEX is a proposed hybrid solar and battery project located in Yuma County, Arizona. The development project has a total capacity of 416.99 MW, consisting of 208.49 MW of solar generation and 208.49 MW of battery energy storage. The project, which appeared in recent industry news, is interconnected to the CAISO grid under queue ID CAISO-2161, with a queue entry date of April 15, 2021.

The proposed commercial operation date for the ALISA SOLAR ENERGY COMPLEX is June 1, 2028. The project's interconnection point is at the Hoodoo Wash - North Gila 500 kV substation, and the interconnecting utility is SDGE. The project's interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase.
