The SUNSHINE VALLEY SOLAR 1 project is a proposed 90 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development in Nye County, Nevada. The project, located within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) region, consists of a 50 MW solar array and a 40 MW battery energy storage system. The interconnection request, queue ID CAISO-993, was entered into the CAISO queue on April 30, 2013, with a proposed commercial operation date of December 31, 2026. The interconnection agreement (IA) was executed on August 7, 2017.
The project's point of interconnection (POI) is the Valley Substation 138 kV, and the interconnecting utility is Valley Electric Association (VEA). SUNSHINE VALLEY SOLAR 1 has been the subject of recent news coverage, with nine articles appearing in industry, regulatory, and deals publications.
