Pedernales Electric Cooperative To Install Energy Storage
May 29,2019
Aggreko said that it has signed an agreement with Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) in Texas to install and commission the utility’s first-ever battery energy storage system: a 2.25 MW / 4.5 MWh project in Johnson City, Texas.
The batteries will provide grid services to the Texas grid operator ERCOT. The system will also provide solar shifting from a nearby solar farm within the PEC service territory.
"The system will not only provide ancillary services to ERCOT, but will help add capacity to the electric grid," said PEC CEO Julie C. Parsley
This will be Aggreko’s sixth battery storage project in the Texas energy storage market
