The CPC WEST project is a proposed 900 MW hybrid wind and battery energy storage project located in Kern County, California. The development project consists of a 600 MW wind farm coupled with a 300 MW battery energy storage system. The project is interconnected to Southern California Edison (SCE) and is listed in the CAISO interconnection queue as entry CAISO-96.
The project entered the CAISO queue on January 1, 1970, with a proposed commercial operation date of July 5, 2026. The interconnection agreement (IA) has been executed as of January 1, 1970. The point of interconnection (POI) for the project is the Tehachapi Conceptual Substation #1. The project has appeared in recent news coverage.
