6 FAQs about [United States hybrid solar power plants]

Will solar power a hybrid plant in 2022?

Solar dominates these proposed plants as well: at the close of 2022, there were 457 GW of solar capacity proposed as a hybrid (representing ~48% of all solar capacity in the queues), most typically pairing PV with battery storage.

What percentage of solar power is proposed as a hybrid?

For example, in CAISO, 97% of all solar capacity and 45% of all wind capacity in the queues is proposed as a hybrid. The report also surveys power purchase agreement (PPA) price data from a sample of operating and proposed PV+storage plants.

How many hybrid plants are there in 2022?

Key findings from the latest briefing include: At the end of 2022, there were 374 hybrid plants (>1 MW) operating across the United States (+25% compared to the end of 2021), totaling nearly 41 GW of generating capacity (+15%) and 5.4 GW/15.2 GWh of energy storage (+69%/+88%).

What is a hybrid power plant?

Improving battery technology and the growth of variable renewable generation are driving a surge of interest in “hybrid” power plants that combine, for example, wind or solar generating capacity with co-located batteries.

Are hybrid power plants a commercial interest?

Data from interconnection queues demonstrates the considerable commercial interest that exists in hybrid power plants, especially solar co-located with storage.

What is a hybrid solar power source?

Traditionally the term hybrid referred to two generation sources such as wind and solar but in the solar world the term 'hybrid' refers to a combination of solar and energy storage which is also connected to the electricity grid.
