Batteries and Solar Energy Assist ERCOT in Achieving Record Winter Peak
On February 20, 2025, ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) achieved a new record for winter demand, peaking at 7:25 a.m. This milestone was significantly supported by record production from battery energy storage systems and near-record contributions from solar energy resources.
The integration of these technologies highlights the effectiveness of renewable energy sources in meeting high demand periods, particularly during winter months when energy consumption typically surges.
This performance underscores the growing importance of battery storage and solar power in the overall energy mix of Texas, showcasing their role in enhancing grid reliability and sustainability.
