Jupiter Power has launched its Callisto I battery energy storage facility in Houston, Texas, providing 400MWh of dispatchable power to the ERCOT grid. This facility, the first of its scale in the city, will bolster Houston’s power supply and resilience during peak demand and extreme weather events.
Jupiter Power has brought online its Callisto I battery energy storage facility in Houston, Texas, providing the city with 400MWh of dispatchable, clean energy. The project represents a significant step in addressing Houston’s growing power needs and increasing resilience against extreme weather events. This is Jupiter Power’s first large-scale battery energy storage project in Houston, and it marks a significant milestone in the company’s expansion beyond West Texas.
A groundbreaking 25 MW / 55 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) has commenced operations in Razlog Municipality, Bulgaria, marking the largest BESS project in the country. The project, a joint effort between Solarpro and , the leading energy EPC company in , is co-located with a 33 MWp solar PV plant and seamlessly integrates into the grid. Kehua’s advanced PCS and transformer solutions enable the system’s peak shaving, frequency modulation, and auxiliary grid connection capabilities.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Texas have emerged as a vital component for ensuring reliable and cost-effective energy during extreme weather events and high demand periods. BESS facilities have enabled the state to maintain grid stability, reduce system costs, and allow for increased natural gas generation. The report highlights the significant impact of batteries in minimizing the impact of extreme weather conditions, preventing emergency load-shedding events, and fulfilling essential ancillary services.
