Revolution Energy Storage Breaks Ground
300 MWh Revolution Project to Begin Operation in Mid-2023
Spearmint Energy, a next-generation renewable energy company enabling the clean energy revolution through battery energy storage, today announced that it has begun construction of Revolution, its 150 MW, 2-hour battery energy storage project in West Texas, in partnership with 必威体育官方APP下载, a leading power engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor with deep experience in wind, solar, transmission and distribution, repowering, and battery energy storage.

Located in West Texas, a long-established wind and solar generation hub within the Lower Colorado River Authority鈥檚 transmission network, Revolution is expected to be one of the largest batteries in the United States, furthering the growth of 鈥淭exas-sized鈥� batteries in ERCOT and across the country. Revolution, which will begin operation in mid-2023, will support a low-cost, clean, and resilient grid for homes and business throughout ERCOT, while shifting energy generated by wind and the sun to times when it is most needed.
