Available Power, a pure-play developer of investment-grade battery energy storage systems, and Linxon, a joint venture of SNC-Lavalin and Hitachi Energy, announced a strategic partnership to scale the North American energy storage market.
Linxon has already secured access to the necessary equipment supply to deliver on the first tranche of Available Power's 1,000+-megawatt (1+ gigawatt/GW) front-of-meter project pipeline in Texas's ERCOT market territory.
As of December 2022, ERCOT had ~2.7 GW of installed battery capacity, meaning that Available Power's pipeline alone represents a ~37 percent increase with its 1 GW of new planned capacity. An estimated 75 percent of the project pipeline comprises distribution-connected battery systems with an average size of 10 MW / 20 megawatt hours (MWh) each, making the portfolio one of the largest battery fleets ever announced by a developer.
