2024 was the year of energy storage in TX. Project/technology costs dropped. Incredibly strong capacity growth. Increased participation in ERCOT ancillary services & RT market. Zero ERCOT conservation alerts (compared to 11 in 2023). Output records. Lower consumer costs & increased reliability.
2024 was a fantastic year for energy storage
Batteries reshaped the power grid in California and Texas, showing the rest of the country what's possible when the tech is allowed to flourish.

There are 52,000 MW of late-stage ERCOT generation in dev.
28,875 MW☀️
14,580 MW 🔋
7,558 MW 🌬️
1,700 MW 🔥
31% dispatchable. 25% of BESS in dev is at solar projects. NatGas gen will keep increasing. The market is working to keep pace with load growth (& is firming). #txenergy #txsolar #txstorage
