Apex Clean Energy, Powin partner on Texas battery storage projects
In Virginia, Apex Clean Energy and Powin LLC announced two new battery storage projects in Texas. Apex developed and will construct, own, and operate the projects, while Powin is providing its Centipede Platform and StackOS battery management system. Angelo Storage, co-located with the 195 MW Angelo Solar Project, and Great Kiskadee Storage will each deliver 100 MW/200 MWh of capacity to the Texas grid with a two-hour battery duration. The battery systems will use Powin’s StackOS platform to provide energy arbitrage and ancillary grid services to the ERCOT market. “As Texas experiences more extreme weather conditions in both summer and winter months, there’s a growing need for cleaner and more reliable energy,” said Geoff Brown, CEO of Powin. “With visibility and control down to the battery cell level, our platform can respond to changing grid conditions in real-time. As these new storage projects are deployed, ERCOT customers in the region will have the assurance of a climate-resilient grid backed by Powin’s technology.” The Angelo and Great Kiskadee storage projects are expected to begin commercial operations in late 2023 and 2024.
