The Black Bear Solar project is a proposed 102.9 MW solar generation facility in Crockett County, Texas. The project, being developed by Escondido Draw Resources, LLC, is located within the ERCOT region and interconnected to point of interconnection #6564 ILLN4A 138 KV. It entered the ERCOT interconnection queue as project ERCOT-26INR0365 on December 4, 2023, with a proposed commercial operation date of June 1, 2028. Its interconnection status is currently in the Facility Study phase.
The development has been the subject of recent news coverage, with three articles focusing on industry trends and project development.
