About

The TE Smith Storage 2 project is a proposed 125.36 MW battery storage project located in Rockwall County, Texas. Developed by Smith II Battery Storage, LLC, the project entered the ERCOT interconnection queue on April 15, 2024, with queue ID ERCOT-26INR0418. The proposed commercial operation date is August 16, 2027.

The project's interconnection status is currently in the Facility Study phase. It is designed as a standalone battery storage facility, with the entire 125.36 MW capacity attributed to battery technology. The point of interconnection is the 2483 Royse 345kV substation. The project has appeared in recent news coverage.
