Adapture Renewables, a key player in the development and operation of large-scale solar and storage projects, has launched its first two battery energy storage systems in Texas. These facilities, located in Collin and Kimble counties, represent Adapture Renewables’ first operational storage projects in this market.

A capacity increased to 74 MWh and external technological support

The two projects already in operation allow for the storage and delivery of nearly 50 MWh of electricity, thus meeting the hourly peak consumption of up to 67,000 households each day. A third installation, planned in Galveston County, will soon bring the total capacity to 74 MWh, representing a 33% increase in the company’s storage portfolio. To maximise the performance of these assets, Adapture Renewables selected Ascend Analytics as its optimisation and management partner, utilising the SmartBidder platform for electricity market arbitrage.

The Texas Electric Reliability Council (Electric Reliability Council of Texas, ERCOT) anticipates an increase in electricity demand of more than 20% by 2030. In the face of this demand dynamic, the contribution of battery storage systems stands out as an essential flexibility lever for the Texas grid.

Industrial deployment and sector partnerships

Adapture Renewables currently owns, operates or is constructing 815 MWp of solar projects across twelve US states. The integration of storage, initiated with these Distributed Generation Resource (DGR) projects in Texas, materialises the company’s strategy of expanding towards hybrid solutions. The group relies on collaborations with Ascend Analytics for operational management and Stella Energy Solutions for infrastructure development and construction.

All three Texas projects, acquired from Stella Energy Solutions, benefit from Ascend Analytics’ SmartBidder solution for the optimisation of tenders and battery availability scheduling. This system enables Adapture Renewables to adjust its production and balancing services according to grid requirements and market price developments.

The industrial partners highlight the financial strength and technical expertise mobilised to ensure the delivery and operation of these new storage assets on the Texas market.
