The Backbone Creek BESS project is a proposed 121 MW battery storage project located in Burnet County, Texas. Developed by Backbone Creek BESS LLC, the project is interconnected within the ERCOT region and entered the ERCOT interconnection queue as ERCOT-24INR0313 on April 18, 2022. The project's proposed commercial operation date is August 10, 2026.
The project has an Interconnection Agreement (IA) executed on December 22, 2023, and its Point of Interconnection (POI) is the 7351 STARCKE 138kV substation. The project's interconnection status is currently listed as active.
