About

The Kettleman Solar Project (FKA Kettleman Solar Farm) is a proposed 40 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Kings County, California. The project, under development in the CAISO region, consists of 20 MW of solar generation and 20 MW of battery storage. The proposed project is interconnected to the PG&E utility grid at the Henrietta-Tulare Lake 70 kV point of interconnection.

The project is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as entry CAISO-625, with an original queue entry date of May 14, 2010. The proposed commercial operation date is April 1, 2025. An Interconnection Agreement (IA) for the project has been executed as of October 17, 2012. The project has appeared in recent news coverage.
