About

The Carolina Storage Odessa project is a proposed 202.05 MW battery storage project located in Howard County, Texas. Developed by CSE STORAGE, LLC, the project entered the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-25INR0611 on February 2, 2024. The proposed commercial operation date is May 1, 2029, and the project's interconnection status is currently in the Facility Study phase.

The development has been the subject of recent news coverage, with four articles focusing on grid issues, deals, and industry trends. The point of interconnection is the 1058 LONGSHORE 345kV.
