The AC120SB Project is a proposed 120 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage project located in Otero County, New Mexico. The development project consists of 120 MW of solar generation capacity. It is interconnected to the El Paso Electric Company (EPE) via the Otero 345kV Substation.
The project is listed in the El Paso Electric (EPE) interconnection queue as queue ID EPE-LG-17-9-3, with an interconnection queue entry date of September 27, 2017. The proposed commercial operation date is June 5, 2022, and the Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed. The project has appeared in recent news coverage.
