About

The Palisade BESS project is a proposed 153.5 MW hybrid battery energy storage project located in Brazoria County, Texas. Developed by Flexen USA LLC, the project is currently active in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-29INR0174, with a queue entry date of September 23, 2025. The proposed commercial operation date is October 1, 2029.

The project consists of battery energy storage and another unspecified technology. It is slated to connect to the Hoffman (42810) - Lake Jackson (42880) 138 kV line. The Palisade BESS project has appeared in recent news coverage regarding energy storage development in Texas.
