ICYMI: Jupiter Power spoke with the Houston Chronicle this week about the company’s latest contribution to the ERCOT grid. The Callisto I project is Houston's first transmission-connected battery energy storage system, coming online ahead of triple-digit heat this week. “‘The battery is perfect for the city of Houston. It takes very little land use,’ said Caitlin Smith, Jupiter Power vice president of policy and corporate communications. ‘It responds instantaneously, and so it can meet the demand that Houston has when the power is not there.’ Read the full article here >> https://lnkd.in/dZE7jwSM #BatteryStorage #Energy #TexasEnergy #ERCOT

Jupiter Power is excited to announce today the achievement of commercial operations of 400MWh of dispatchable power to the ERCOT grid with a battery energy storage facility in Houston, Texas. Callisto I is the first transmission-connected battery energy storage project in the city of Houston, and will significantly increase Houston’s supply of reliable, zero emissions power. This amount of dispatchable power in the Houston city load center represents the success of market-based improvements by lawmakers to add competitive, dispatchable power to the ERCOT grid. With ERCOT expecting peak demand and tight conditions today, we are proud to be able to provide this amount of instantaneous, firm power. The Callisto I Energy Center is a 200MW/400MWh battery energy storage system located in central Houston, five miles from the Medical Center and ten miles from the Houston Ship Channel at the site of a former HL&P H.O. Clarke fossil fuel power plant. The site can accommodate an additional 400MW/800MWh of battery energy storage generation. Callisto I is Jupiter Power’s ninth project in ERCOT, bringing its total ERCOT fleet to 1,375MWh. In December of 2023, Jupiter Power announced the closing of a$65.2 million financing with First Citizens Bank to finance the construction of Callisto I.
