Entered ERCOT interconnection queue, Facility Study phase
The Houston County BESS project is a proposed 125.4 MW battery storage project located in Houston County, Texas. Developed by Houston ESS, LLC, the project consists entirely of battery storage. It is currently in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-27INR0196, with a queue entry date of February 27, 2024, and a proposed commercial operation date of April 12, 2027. The project's interconnection agreement status is currently in the Facility Study phase.
The proposed project is linked to an existing operating plant of the same name (Houston County BESS) with EIA plant ID 68671. The point of interconnection is at the Tap ETEC 138kV #6733 Mustang Prairie to #6732 Latexo Sub station. The Houston County BESS project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
