The Zorro BESS project is a proposed 153.69 MW battery storage project located in Van Zandt County, Texas. Developed by UR-Silo DevCo LLC, the project consists entirely of battery storage. It is currently in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-25INR0384, with a queue entry date of March 27, 2023, and a proposed commercial operation date of August 31, 2026. The project's interconnection status is currently in the Facility Study phase.
The point of interconnection for the Zorro BESS project is the 138 kV Ben Wheeler bus. The project has been mentioned in recent news coverage related to the electric grid.
