The independence of the ERCOT market is driving Texas’s energy transition, and pushing ahead solar-plus-storage the new gold standard. However, capitalizing on this trend requires developers to master the state’s volatile market by understanding locational pricing and smart battery operations rather than just bolting technology together.
A BASF industrial facility that produces raw materials for diapers, fertilizers, food packaging carpets and more is now powered by a 72 MW solar project with onsite energy storage.
Projects that fail to upgrade their data infrastructure risk underperformance, delays, and lost trust with the network operator.
Large-scale batteries with grid-forming software can sustain grid reliability as renewables replace synchronous fossil generators, says an ESIG report. The report focuses on test procedures to validate grid-forming capabilities.
Respondents will receive data-driven feedback on how their offers compared to the market.
Interconnection agreements grew 33% year-over-year in 2024 and are sustaining momentum through 2025, said Wood Mackenzie.
The Dublin‑based energy optimizer is expanding its presence in the most mature U.S. battery storage markets – Texas and California – to help asset owners navigate rising uncertainty around revenue predictability.
Solar and wind generated 40.2% of the ERCOT grid’s electricity this year through June. When coal plants shut down for unexpected maintenance, solar and wind stepped in, providing about 50% of generation during peak summer demand in the highest electricity consuming state in the union.
Existing battery projects in California and Texas see upside, while hybrid storage bets in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) territory and the Southeast face shrinking margins under the revised tax credit rules.
A new GridBeyond report finds that succeeding in saturated markets requires software-led agility and real-time decision-making.
