Entered ERCOT queue at Facility Study stage
Kickstart Energy Storage V is a proposed 999 MW hybrid energy project in Ellis County, Texas. Developed by Kickstart Infrastructure LLC, the project consists of battery energy storage and another unspecified technology. It is located within the ERCOT region and interconnected at the 345 KV Venus 1906 to Fort Smith 3389 point of interconnection.
The project, identified as ERCOT-29INR0217 in the ERCOT interconnection queue, entered the queue on November 24, 2025. Its proposed commercial operation date is December 31, 2029. The project's interconnection status is currently active.
