Wizard BESS is a proposed 150.82 MW battery storage project in Galveston County, Texas. Developed by Wizard Energy Storage, LLC, the project consists entirely of battery storage. It is currently active in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-25INR0300, with a queue entry date of March 27, 2023, and a proposed commercial operation date of March 11, 2026.
The project's Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on August 21, 2023. The point of interconnection is to the 138 kV League City Substation (#38920). The project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
