RWE plans to expand its storage portfolio with Texas Waves II, a 30-MW battery storage project with a 1-hour lithium-ion battery, co-located at the existing Pyron Wind Farm in Scurry County, Texas.
Texas Waves II is under construction and is expected to be online by the end of 2022. The project recently achieved a major equipment milestone installing all inverters on site, with no lost time injuries and two weeks ahead of schedule.
The project will provide ancillary services to the ERCOT grid as well as participate in the energy market.
