1. A counter-solar power plant (CSPP) comprising:
a counter-solar power plant (CSPP) renewable energy system (RES) including a solar array, an inverter, a meter, a CSPP energy storage system (ESS), and a controller configured to execute instructions stored in a memory, the instructions including operations comprising:
receiving data associated with a power output of a legacy solar-only resource (LSOR), wherein the LSOR includes a legacy solar array, a legacy controller, a legacy inverter, a legacy meter that provides the data, and a transformer connected to an interconnection infrastructure by which power is delivered to an electric grid;
determining an estimated power output of the LSOR based on the received data;
obtaining a target power delivery profile including a plurality of target power outputs each indicating a target amount of power to be delivered at different times of a time period;
determining an output of the CSPP renewable energy system (RES) to the transformer of the LSOR and a charge/discharge of the CSPP ESS such that a combined output of the CSPP and the estimated power output of the LSOR satisfies at least one of the plurality of target power outputs of the target power delivery profile throughout the time period; and
during the time period, adjusting an ESS setpoint of an ESS inverter coupled to the CSPP ESS to achieve the determined CSPP ESS charge/discharge.
