About

The American Kings Solar project is a proposed 196.8 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Kings County, California. The project consists of a 123 MW solar array coupled with a 73.8 MW battery energy storage system. Interconnection is planned with Pacific Gas & Electric (PGAE) at the Henrietta 70 kV point of interconnection.

The project is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as queue ID CAISO-272, with an original queue entry date of November 1, 2007. The proposed commercial operation date is December 30, 2025. An Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed as of August 15, 2014. The American Kings Solar project has been the subject of recent news coverage.
