Linxon has signed an exclusive agreement with Available Power for the 100 MW/200 MWh Greenport Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Austin, Texas. This agreement strengthens the relationship between the two parties, following their strategic partnership for 1 GW of distributed energy storage projects in the ERCOT market.

Two companies hand in hand

Ben Gregory, president of Available Power, said, “We are excited to collaborate with Linxon on this flagship project of our partnership. Battery energy storage is a vital component of our distributed energy resources (DER) platform, deploying highly available and flexible energy assets that ensure access to clean, reliable energy. We are confident that our partnership with Linxon will help us accelerate the energy transition in Texas and drive value for our investors, landowners and grid operators.”

Nicolas Sanloup, President and CEO of Linxon Americas, said, “What an exciting time for both of our companies. We are proud of our deep relationship with Available Power and are pleased to contribute to the development of a leading DER platform. The Greenport project is the result of months of collaborative work demonstrating our mutual commitment to a sustainable energy future.”

Greenport project operational in early 2025

The scope of the project includes the design, construction, installation, and testing of all equipment required for the BESS facility, including a 345/34.5 kV, 130 MVA step-up power transformer, 345 kV AIS equipment, battery enclosures, inverter with coupling transformer, inverter/EMS control system, and station auxiliary power system. The Greenport project is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2025. Available Power and Linxon will continue their journey of accelerating the energy transition and promoting sustainability in the Texas ERCOT market.
