🔋 Battery Storage Saves Texas Grid $750 Million and Boosts Resiliency 🔋 Since 2020, Texas has experienced extreme winter storms, record-setting hot summers, and rapidly growing power demand that have tested the state’s power grid. According to a recent report from Aurora Energy Research, battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Texas have helped lessen the impact and cost of extreme weather. The report reveals that battery storage facilities saved the Texas grid over $750 million during peak demand days in the winter of 2024, highlighting the critical role of battery storage in enhancing grid reliability and reducing costs during extreme weather events. “Batteries store and shift energy, especially inexpensive energy, and convert it to critically useful capacity resources that are dispatchable during the hours of the day when it is most needed,” said Olivier Beaufils, ERCOT Market Lead at Aurora Energy Research. “They fulfill an increasing share of Ancillary Services and help ERCOT maintain grid stability during extreme weather events or when large generators or transmission lines suddenly trip offline—a role that has historically been played by natural gas generators.” If you are an EPC or developer looking to install energy storage in Texas, reach out to the EVO Power team to discuss our BESS solutions at info.us@evopower.com. https://lnkd.in/gaFKzqmX #BatteryStorage #EnergyInnovation #GridStability #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #TexasEnergy #EVOPower #EVOlution
