The US arm of Chinese company Sungrow has secured a contract to supply a fully integrated energy storage system to the 100MW Chisholm Grid project in the state of Texas.
Chisholm Grid has been under construction since August and will be one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in Texas when work onsite at Fort Worth is completed this June.
The facility, utilising industry NMC battery technology, will generate revenue from the sale of energy and grid stabilisation services to the ERCOT wholesale electricity market.
Chisholm is owned by Astral Electricity and developed by Able Grid Infrastructure Holdings, a joint venture between Able Grid and MAP RE/ES.
Able Grid will provide operational asset management services for the site following commercial operations in mid-2021.
MAP RE/ES chief executive Aaron Zubaty said: “Years of innovation by Sungrow as a global technology leader now allows companies like Astral Electricity to deploy market-driven solutions that will accelerate the decarbonisation of electricity supplies while also improving grid performance.
“Sungrow’s highly-integrated offering, history of successful deployment and collaboration with technology providers were key factors in our supplier decision.
“We are looking forward Sungrow’s product providing reliable operations for many years to come.”
Sungrow Americas managing director Mizhi Zhang said: “The landmark Chisholm Grid energy storage project is another exciting milestone in the US energy storage market which is strongly positioned for immense growth.
“We’re poised to pioneer more energy storage innovations backed by the industry’s largest R&D team and 24-year proven track record.
“Our agile local team can offer responsive technical support, sales and industry-leading after-sales service.”
