The Hidden Lakes BESS project is a proposed 9.9 MW battery storage project located in Galveston County, Texas. Developed by SBESS TX 6 LLC, the project is interconnected within the ERCOT region under queue ID ERCOT-23INR0617. The project entered the queue on June 14, 2023, with a proposed commercial operation date of November 30, 2025. An Interconnection Agreement (IA) has been executed as of February 7, 2024.
The Hidden Lakes BESS project is linked to the existing Hidden Lakes operating plant (EIA ID 67844). The interconnection point is designated as HDNLAKES, PTI Bus# 38900, Load XFMR Name HDLAKE_2, at a transmission level voltage of 138 kV. The project has appeared in recent news coverage.
