Projects In Development

  • Energy Type: Solar plus battery storage
    Location: Alameda County, CA

    The Aramis Solar Plus Storage project will provide 75 MW of solar energy and 75 MW of battery storage capacity to CleanPowerSF customers. Once complete, this project will also provide clean and reliable power to the Bay Area. The project is expected to generate over 400 all-union construction jobs between IP Aramis, LLC and five local construction crafts representing over 10,000 members living in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

  • Energy Type: Battery storage
    Location: Solano County, CA

    The Corby Project is CleanPowerSF’s first standalone battery storage located in Northern California. It will have a total capacity of 300 MW of battery storage and will create about 200 construction jobs. The project is led by a company under NextEra Energy Resources, LLC.

  • Energy Type: Solar plus battery storage
    Location: Fresno County, CA

    The Darden Project comprises a 71 MW solar facility with a 71 MW battery storage facility located in Fresno County California. The 15-year contract with Intersect Power, LLC was executed in November 2025. It’s expected the facility will begin operating in mid-2028.

  • Energy Type: Geothermal
    Location: Esmerelda County, NV

    The Fish Lake Geothermal project is located in Esmeralda County Nevada. It is a 13 MW geothermal power plant that will provide about 2 MW to CleanPowerSF. Once completed, this project will provide enough energy for about 5,000 San Francisco homes.

  • Energy Type: Wind + Storage
    Location: Merced County

    Developed by Colorado-based Scout Clean Energy, Gonzaga Ridge will be the largest single source of wind energy in CleanPowerSF’s power supply. It will generate enough electricity annually to power approximately 120,000 average San Francisco homes. Additionally, the 50-megawatt 4-hour battery energy storage system will store energy produced during the day for use in the evening, when power from the grid is more costly and reliant on natural gas. The project is anticipated to come online in May 2026.

  • Energy Type: Solar
    Location: Riverside County, California

    The IP Easley Project is located in Riverside County, California. It is a 400 MW project, and CleanPowerSF will benefit 50 MW from the project. The project is being developed by Intersect Power and will begin generating as soon as fall 2026.

This label does not reflect compliance with the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS), which measures the use of tracking instruments called Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) over the course of multi-year compliance periods. RECs that are purchased separately from the renewable energy ("Unbundled RECs") can be used for RPS compliance, but they do not factor into the power mixes or GHG emissions intensities above.

* Unspecified power is electricity purchased from a genericized pool on the open market.
