The IEP Orchard BESS project is a proposed 9.99 MW battery energy storage system located in Fort Bend County, Texas. Developed by IEP Tejas Verde LLC, the project is interconnected within the ERCOT region under queue ID ERCOT-23INR0556. The proposed commercial operation date is February 28, 2025.
The project's interconnection agreement was executed on August 9, 2023. The point of interconnection is at the OR station, connecting to the CNP 34.5kV Distribution System with a 50 MWh battery energy storage system.
