About

The STERLING project is a proposed 500 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development in Clark County, Nevada. The project consists of a 250 MW solar photovoltaic array coupled with a 250 MW battery energy storage system. It is located within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) region and is interconnected to the Southern California Edison (SCE) grid at the Mohave Substation 500 kV point of interconnection.

The project, identified as CAISO-2140 in the CAISO interconnection queue, entered the queue on April 15, 2021, and has a proposed commercial operation date of May 26, 2031. Its interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase. The STERLING project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
