Agilitas Energy Commissions Energy Storage System in Houston
—

**WAKEFIELD, Mass., June 10, 2025** (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Agilitas Energy, a prominent developer and operator of renewable energy and energy storage systems, has announced the commissioning of a **9.96 megawatt (MW) / 22.4 megawatt-hour (MWh)** battery energy storage system (BESS) in Houston, Texas. This project represents the first distributed generation BESS interconnected to CenterPoint Energy’s distribution system and will participate in the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT)’s wholesale delivery market.

As a leading independent power producer (IPP), Agilitas Energy will utilize its expertise in energy storage to operate the BESS, providing essential services to ERCOT. The newly operational BESS will enhance grid resiliency during peak events and help reduce electric system costs by participating in ERCOT’s energy and ancillary services markets. By offering diverse and reliable energy reserves, the BESS supports ERCOT’s mission to maintain a stable and resilient power grid, providing alternatives to peaker and fossil-fuel-based plants that operators typically rely on during periods of high demand.

“This project highlights our confidence in ERCOT—widely recognized as one of the top energy markets in the U.S.—and the increasing value of the unique benefits that energy storage can provide,” said **Barrett Bilotta**, President, CEO, and Co-founder of Agilitas Energy. “Not only does this project reaffirm our commitment to enhancing grid reliability with cost-effective energy, but it also marks a significant milestone in our ongoing national expansion.”

**Tony Gardner**, SVP and Chief Customer Officer at CenterPoint Energy, stated, “CenterPoint Energy is pleased to serve Agilitas Energy as a customer, helping to support a diverse and reliable portfolio of generation available to our customers.”

Looking ahead, Agilitas Energy is set to commission a similar project, which is scheduled for commercial operation later this year. This upcoming project will add another **9.96 MW and 22.4 MWh** of energy storage capacity to the grid, further expanding Agilitas Energy’s presence in Texas and fulfilling its commitment to providing distributed energy solutions to the region.
