The Texas Tribune | As Brutal Heat Tests Texas’ Power Grid, Batteries Play a Small But Growing Role in Keeping the Lights On

The Texas Tribune explains how battery energy storage, including Plus Power’s Gambit Energy Storage in Angleton, helped Texas avoid rolling blackouts throughout the record-breaking summer.  “This summer, batteries have mostly sold their power to meet high demand around 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. when solar production winds down as the sun sets but temperatures are still high. Energy consultant and battery advocate Doug Lewin calls that the “white knuckle part of the evening” for ERCOT, when batteries’ relatively small contribution to the grid can still be “determinative” to meeting what has been record-high demand during Texas’ second-hottest summer ever.”

The Conversation’s Savannah Harriman-Pote on the role of firm renewable generation in the future of our grid. “On Oʻahu, Kapolei Energy Storage by Plus Power is still under construction, but it will be the largest storage facility in the state when completed, according to Polly Shaw, director of policy and communications for Plus Power… Battery storage is an important piece of the energy puzzle because it adds stability to variable energy sources, like wind and solar. Traditionally, those resources only provided energy when the wind was blowing or the sun was out.”

Murray Carpenter interviews State Representative Mo Terry on Maine’s electrified future: “The storage facilities that we have right now are on the smaller size, 10-15 megawatts per facility, where the one that’s coming to Gorham is hopefully going to be up to about 150 megawatts of storage,” she says. That proposed facility, Plus Power’s Cross Town Project, would be about 17 times the size of the Tesla system near East Millinocket. That’s about enough to power 150,000 Maine homes for two hours.

Elevating Energy Resilience
Phoenix set a record of 31 straight days of 110-degree temperatures in July, the hottest month ever for a U.S. city. Our power grid wasn’t built for the climate crisis. The grid needs fast flexibility to adapt, namely storage. Plus Power’s 250 MW / 1000 MWh Sierra Estrella Energy Storage project in Avondale is under construction and has a 20-year contract with Salt River Project (SRP) . As SRP integrates more solar power, Sierra Estrella will absorb and hold lower-cost energy until demand rises. The facility will also give SRP more experience in dispatching storage. SRP expects storage projects like these to supply more than 10% of its peak-hours electricity demand in 2024, equivalent to around 56,000 homes for up to 4 hours in summer peak conditions.
