Eland Solar Project is a new solar project coming online that will capture 400 megawatts of solar energy and store up to 1,200 megawatt-hour of energy. Eland is in Mojave, California, and is the largest solar energy and battery project providing renewable power to Angelenos. Last month, LADWP CEO and Chief Engineer Janisse Quiñones, joined by Nurit Katz, Board of Water and Power Commissioner, and David Hanson, Senior Assistant General Manager of LADWP’s Power System, visited the Eland Solar-plus-Storage Center in Mojave to mark the important clean energy milestone for L.A. Also present were representatives of Arevon, the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), and Glendale Water and Power (GWP), which will receive solar and battery storage from Eland 1. The project’s first phase is currently online, and the second phase has started testing and is slated to come online in early 2025.
