Prologis Energy has closed the sale of its largest battery energy storage project to date, a 400-megawatt, 800-megawatt-hour facility located southwest of Houston in Alvin, Texas.
The project is part of Prologis’s intent to develop utility-scale energy assets and unlock value across its logistics real estate footprint.
The project is located 500 feet from a 345-kilovolt substation in Electric Reliability Council of Texas’ (ERCOT’s) most congested zone. The project will bolster reliability and unlock flexible capacity in one of the grid’s most vulnerable load areas.
Prologis Energy secured the land, finalized an interconnection agreement, permitted the project, procured long-lead equipment and structured a 20-year ground lease and development services agreement. Construction is under way, with 200 megawatts expected to reach completion by the end of 2025.
“This project meets an urgent demand for flexible, reliable power in Texas,” said Alta Yen
