About

The RIO BRAVO SOLAR 1 project is a proposed 40 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Kern County, California. The project consists of 20 MW of solar generation and 20 MW of battery storage. It is interconnected to the PG&E utility network within the CAISO region, with a point of interconnection at the Midway Temblor 115 kV line.

The project, identified as CAISO-900 in the CAISO interconnection queue, entered the queue on January 1, 1970, and has a proposed commercial operation date of June 30, 2027. The Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed as of January 1, 1970. The project is currently listed as active.
