The Southeast has historically had the lowest virtual power plant market integration in the country. With its recent acquisition of regional solar and storage installer Renu Energy Solutions, distributed energy storage company Swell Energy has positioned itself to be a major player in the nascent market. The acquisition allows Swell to avoid starting from scratch, instead turning to the more than 5,000 systems Renu has installed in the region, providing connections to would-be VPP participants. Said Latitude Intelligence analyst Daisy Dunlap, "Acquiring Renu is essentially moving in with a ‘local guide’ in the region.” More than 60% of energy demand in the region is served by Duke Energy Corporation and Dominion Energy. Latitude Intelligence managing director Matt Casey offered his take on the landscape: "I think we’ll continue to see VPP system providers looking for acquisition targets and potential partners with established installed bases and go-to-market channels to grow their footprints, especially in markets as complex as the Southeast.” https://hubs.la/Q02kSGQc0

The future

This is a significant step forwards for Revolve Renewable Power, which now has a truly North American renewable energy footprint with operating and development assets spanning Canada, the USA and Mexico. There is a sense in the market that its either carbon-based energy or renewable energy, but not both. At Revolve, we see renewables as complementary to traditional sources of power, with renewables growing its share of the power mix over time. #windpower #solarpower #runofriver #batterystorage #renewableenergy Revolve Renewable Power

Equinor is setting a new benchmark in the US energy sector with its first foray into battery storage projects in Texas since acquiring East Point Energy. The Norwegian powerhouse is rolling out an impressive 110 MW/220 MWh across two key projects that promise to bolster the Electric Reliability Council of Texas markets. 🔋 The Citrus Flatts project in Cameron County holds an extensive 100-MW/200-MWh capacity and is poised for construction this year. Anticipated to light up commercially by early 2026, the project is a strategic acquisition from Black Mountain Energy Storage, seamlessly connecting to the AEP Texas system. 🏗️ In Frio County, the smaller yet significant 10-MW/20-MWh Sunset Ridge project is already on the move, with operations expected to begin in 2023. This project will energize through the South Texas Electric Cooperative network, adding another nod to Equinor's commitment to diversification and robust infrastructure. 🌱 With an envisioned 4% to 8% return range on renewables, Equinor and its trading arm, Danske Commodities, are set to commercialize these ventures, aiming for high-yielding project returns. Their grand vision for a 3 GW battery storage project pipeline across the US is testament to their forward-thinking strategy. 💡 Christian Lie Hansen of Equinor underscores this momentum, advocating for a strong, scalable battery storage portfolio built upon East Point's capabilities and synergistic benefits with Danske Commodities. As the Texan landscape watches a burgeoning growth in battery storage, with ERCOT already ingrained with 6,300 MW of capacity as of April 2024, Equinor's Citrus Flatts and Sunset Ridge stand as pioneering projects charting new territories in energy solutions. Thinking about the future of renewable energy and how it impacts our grid - How do you envision the role of battery storage in energy reliability and sustainability? #RenewableEnergy #BatteryStorage #EnergyInnovation

𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝑳𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆-𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒔 Spearmint Energy has commenced commercial operations of its notable 150-megawatt battery storage system, named Revolution, in West Texas. This project, one of the larger battery storage systems in the U.S. by capacity, is a standalone system that connects to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid. It operates by drawing power from the grid when electricity prices are low and supplying power back when prices are high. Located near the King Mountain Wind Ranch, a solar farm, and a data center in McCamey, Revolution represents Spearmint Energy's inaugural venture into grid-scale battery storage. The company plans to significantly expand its presence, aiming to add over one gigawatt of battery storage to the ERCOT grid by the summer of 2025. This development reflects the rapid growth of battery storage on the Texas power grid, which has seen a surge in interest from developers and investors. The state's growing electricity demand, combined with the abundance of wind and solar power and the volatile wholesale electricity market, makes Texas an attractive location for such ventures. Batteries are increasingly recognized for their ability to aid grid operators in maintaining frequency and providing emergency power swiftly when necessary. With record numbers of battery storage applications in 2023 and projections for continued growth, Texas is at the forefront of revolutionizing energy storage and grid stability. #RenewableEnergy #BatteryStorage #TexasPowerGrid #SpearmintEnergy #ElectricityStorage #ERCOT #EnergyInnovation #SustainableEnergy #GridStability #EnergySector https://lnkd.in/gvSRfGBm

Great to see 1680 MW of energy storage added across the US in Q2. No surprise to see the grid scale leading the growth, with CCI and residential continuing their decline. Exciting to know that this is only the start.... Between 2023-2027 installations are expected to total 66 GW of storage despite the ongoing supply chain and interconnection queue challenges. #renewables #energystorage

“Synergy secures planning approval for 2 GWh #bigbattery” “Australian utility Synergy has secured approval for its plan to build a 500 MW/2,000 MWh battery energy storage system in Western Australia.” DECEMBER 11, 2023 - DAVID CARROLL From pv magazine Australia “Western Australia’s Regional Joint Development Assessment Panel has approved Synergy’s plans to construct a 500 MW, four-hour #batteryenergystoragesystem near the coal town of Collie and has also provided a green light for infrastructure approvals to support a possible expansion to 1,000 MW/4,000 MWh.” #BESS Synergy plans to build the AUD 1.6 billion ($1.05 billion) Collie Battery Energy Storage System (CBESS) approximately 200 kilometers southwest of the state capital of Perth, just north of the existing coal-fired Collie Power Station that is set to be retired by 2027. The first stage of the proposed development will comprise the installation of two 250 MW/1,000 MWh ‘sub facilities’ featuring 656 #batteryenclosures, 164 #inverters and up to four 330/33kV #transformer units. “The CBESS will connect via the existing Shotts Terminal to the South West Interconnected System (SWIS), the #electricitygrid that supplies power to Perth and more than one million homes and businesses between Geraldton and Esperance and east to Kalgoorlie.” “Synergy said the battery will help provide the state’s #powergrid with the capacity it needs to remain reliable and affordable as the state moves towards #emissionsfreepowergeneration in 2030.” “The proposal is pivotal to Synergy’s energy transition program and represents a generational opportunity to support #carbonemissionsreduction and #secureenergysupply,” the application reads.” https://lnkd.in/exAJAWev?
