The Castro Solar project is a proposed 222.95 MW solar generation facility in Castro County, Texas. The project, developed by Castro Solar One, LLC, is interconnected within the ERCOT region. It consists of 222.95 MW of solar capacity.
The project entered the ERCOT interconnection queue as ERCOT-20INR0050 on February 8, 2018. Its proposed commercial operation date is September 20, 2028. An Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on November 30, 2020, and the IA status is listed as "IA Executed". The Point of Interconnection (POI) is the 23912 Ogallala 345kV.
