A number of large-scale battery storage projects in Texas are expected to add 1.35 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2025. TotalEnergies, a French energy company, has already completed a 225 MWh battery energy storage system at the Danish Fields project, with another 225 MWh BESS planned for its Cottonwood solar-plus-storage project by 2025. Additionally, RWE Clean Energy LLC plans to develop 900 MWh of BESS across three Texan projects to support the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (Ercot) grid.

TotalEnergies and RWE's projects aim to decarbonize operations at Gulf Coast facilities. These developments coincide with TotalEnergies' partnerships with companies like Saint-Gobain and LyondellBasell for power-purchase agreements to support their sustainability goals. TotalEnergies highlighted the importance of these projects in providing competitive renewable electricity while supporting decarbonization efforts for both customers and their own operations.
