About Astoria 2
The Astoria 2 Project is a 35 MW solar project located in Kern County, California. It achieved commercial operation on December 9, 2016. Beginning January 1, 2022, the contracted capacity will increase to 45 MW of generating capacity until the expected expiration date of December 31, 2036. This facility began energy deliveries in December of 2016. Shortly after the start of commercial operations the project participants elected to amend the original purchase agreement to assume scheduling responsibilities for the project. SCPPA has been instrumental in acquiring these services for the member and non-member participants alike. On January 1, 2022, the SCPPA capacity of the Astoria 2 project increased to 45 MW. 

Fiscal Year 2021-2022

This fiscal year Astoria 2 delivered 118,132 MWhs, realizing a 30% net capacity factor.
