The proposed project "Replacing 30 MW of existing coal generation with BESS at Burlington Generation Station; Burlington 5" is a battery-based development project in Des Moines County, Iowa. Listed in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) interconnection queue under ID MISO-R1019, it is classified as a hybrid project with a total capacity of 212 MW. Its technology is recorded as both "Other" and "Battery," and the only itemized component is a 212 MW "Other" entry. As its name indicates, the project involves a battery energy storage system (BESS) intended to replace 30 MW of existing coal generation at the Burlington Generation Station. The associated utility is Alliant Energy West.
The project entered the MISO queue on February 15, 2022, and its status is listed as active. It proposes to connect at the Burlington 161kV point of interconnection and has requested Network Resource Interconnection Service (NRIS). The proposed commercial operation date was December 31, 2024. The provided data does not specify the status of an interconnection agreement.
