HOUSTON, Texas — Burns & McDonnell has been selected to provide engineer-procure-construct (EPC) services for project Texas Waves II, a 30-MW/ 30-MWh lithium-ion stand-alone battery energy storage system (BESS) in Scurry County, Texas.
This battery system will make a meaningful contribution to grid reliability by providing the system operator a backup for lost generation. Additionally, the system has the potential to help reduce the cost of energy to the consumer by storing energy when it is readily available from renewable resources and discharging when energy would otherwise have to be provided from more expensive fossil fuel generation.
