The GATEWAY ENERGY STORAGE 2 project is a proposed 256.29 MW battery storage project located in San Diego County, California. The project is in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-2185, with an entry date of April 15, 2021. The proposed commercial operation date is February 5, 2035. The project's interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase.
The project, which would interconnect to San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) at the Otay Mesa Switchyard 230 kV point of interconnection, has been the subject of recent news coverage, with five articles categorized as regulatory, industry, and hazard-related.
