Pala Energy Storage Yard: FAQ

Where is Pala Energy Storage Yard?
In San Diego County, California (CA). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
How big is Pala Energy Storage Yard?
1 MW of nameplate capacity across 1 unit, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Pala Energy Storage Yard?
EIA-860M names SDGE Batteries as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
Is this the same as Pala Energy Storage Yard LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — SDGE Batteries here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Pala Energy Storage Yard LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Pala Energy Storage Yard still running?
EIA-860M files it as "Operating" for 2026-07. Statuses change monthly, and this page follows the monthly release.
