About

The Alta Vista Suntower Generating Station is a proposed 132 MW hybrid solar and battery project located in Los Angeles County, California. The development project consists of 66 MW of solar generation paired with 66 MW of battery storage. It is interconnected to the CAISO grid under queue ID CAISO-297, with an original queue entry date of January 18, 2008. The proposed commercial operation date is December 11, 2027.

The project's interconnection agreement (IA) has been executed as of June 30, 2011. The project is connected to the Neenach-Bailey 66kV line and is within the service territory of Southern California Edison (SCE).
