Red Egret Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a proposed 300 MW battery storage project that has been carefully sited on 38 acres of remote, heavy-industrial zoned land in Texas City. The project will connect to existing infrastructure at the Freeway Park substation. The project location was selected due to the high energy use and projected growth in the area.  

 

Battery Energy Storage Systems use equipment that is approximately 10-12 feet tall, are fully contained, and do not require water or other public services. Red Egret will have a decommissioning plan and financial security
in place with Texas City. At the end of the project’s life, project infrastructure will be removed and the site restored.
