About

The Amberjack2 BESS project is a proposed 180 MW hybrid battery energy storage project located in Cameron County, Texas. Developed by Hunt Energy Network, LLC, it is currently active in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-26INR0640, with a queue entry date of January 28, 2025. The proposed commercial operation date is March 8, 2027.

The project is a hybrid facility consisting of battery energy storage paired with another unspecified technology. It is interconnected to the grid at the 79501 KINGFISHER 345KV point of interconnection. The Amberjack2 BESS project has appeared in recent news coverage regarding energy storage development in Texas.
