Texas to get 15 utility-scale battery storage sites

HoustonChronicle.com

Broad Reach Power, a Houston energy storage company, said it will install 15 utility-scale batteries at sites in Houston and Odessa as it seeks to store electricity when it’s cheap
and sell it into wholesale power markets when prices jump.

Six sites, including ve in the Houston area, are expected to be operating this summer. The other batteries will be installed in the fall. Each site will contain battery systems capable of storing and distributing up to 10 megawatts of power. One megawatt powers about 200 homes during a hot summer day in Texas.
