Enfinity Global has acquired two Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) projects in Texas, U.S., with a combined power capacity of 425 MW. The projects are located in the Houston and Dallas zones of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and are expected to begin construction in the second and fourth quarters of 2025.
Once operational, these projects, which offer a total storage capacity of 850 MWh and a two-hour duration, are anticipated to enhance grid stability and support the expansion of renewable energy in Texas. The state's rising electricity demand, driven in part by the growth of AI-driven data centers, has been placing increased pressure on ERCOT's power grid.
Carlos Domenech, CEO of Enfinity Global, commented, “We are proud to invest, power and enable technology at an unprecedented speed, cost and functionality in the race for global competitiveness, all while creating new jobs and making substantial investments in the United States economy.”
The acquisition brings Enfinity Global's total BESS pipeline in the U.S. to 6.6 GW. The projects are strategically positioned to address the unprecedented load growth within ERCOT, which has further heightened the need for renewables paired with energy storage systems.
Ricardo Diaz, CEO of Enfinity Global Americas, added, “Enfinity's proven capabilities with in-house greenfield development has allowed us to expand into executing stand-alone BESS projects. This positions us to play a key role in strengthening and balancing ERCOT power grids and create value-accretive investment opportunities for Enfinity and our financial partners.”
The acquisition of these two projects underscores Enfinity's commitment to advancing renewable energy infrastructure in the U.S., as well as meeting the growing energy demands of Texas.
