Cradle Solar is a proposed 200.85 MW solar generation project located in Brazoria County, Texas. The developer is Cradle Solar LLC. This project is in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-23INR0150, with a queue entry date of February 4, 2021, and a proposed commercial operation date of February 22, 2027.
The project's Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed as of March 15, 2023. Cradle Solar is linked to the existing operating Cradle Solar plant (EIA ID 65822). The point of interconnection is the tap 345kV 42500 Dow - 43035 Oasis ckt 18.
