en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Alamo City Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Bexar County, Texas, has officially entered the construction phase. Jointly launched by OCI Energy and CPS Energy, the 120 MW/480 MWh project is one of the largest standalone battery projects in the region, designed to support the San Antonio grid during peak demand periods and improve the timing and delivery of electricity.

Scheduled to begin operations in 2027, the battery will shift electricity from periods of low demand and low prices to times of higher system stress. OCI Energy is responsible for project development and financing and will retain ownership under a long-term energy storage capacity agreement; CPS Energy will handle operational control and dispatch the facility to supply power to the region.

The project is supported by a team of leading companies: ING is providing construction financing, LG Energy Solution Vertech is supplying the BESS technology, and Elgin Power Solutions is serving as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor. Officials from all three organizations emphasized that the project is a critical step toward a more resilient and reliable grid, enabling the integration of more renewable energy and meeting the city's growing electricity demand. The Alamo City BESS highlights Texas's ongoing push to combine large-scale power generation with flexible energy storage, ensuring cleaner and cheaper electricity is available when it is needed most.
