Battery storage, or battery energy storage systems (BESS), are devices that enable energy from renewables, like solar and wind, to be stored and then released when the power is needed most, or when renewable energy is not available.
Lithium-ion batteries, which are used in mobile phones and, are currently the dominant storage technology for large scale systems to help electricity grids ensure a reliable supply of renewable energy.
Advanced battery systems use algorithms to coordinate energy production and computerized control systems are used to decide when to store energy or to release it to the grid. Energy is released from the battery storage system during times of peak demand, keeping costs down and electricity flowing.
The Project consists of approximately 48 acres in the southwestern portion of Van Zandt County, Texas approximately 2.3 miles south of the unincorporated community of Wise, Texas and approximately 11 miles southwest of Canton, Texas.
The project area is located within the East Central Texas Plains Level III Ecoregion (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA] 2013), the Southwestern Prairies Cotton and Forage Land Resource Region (LRR), and the Texas Claypan Area, Northern Part Major Land Resource Area (MRLA) (U.S. Department of Agriculture [USDA] 2022).
Soils within this ecoregion are primarily medium textured or moderately coarse textured surface layers within moderately permeable to very slowly permeable, clay or loamy subsoil. Climate conditions of this ecoregion include an average annual precipitation of 39 to 45 inches, primarily occurring during the winter and spring months; average annual temperatures of this ecoregion range between 62 to 66 degrees Fahrenheit (USDA 2022).
Based on input received from applicable agencies, as well as the studies listed above, Project proponents designed the Amador Energy Storage Project to avoid sensitive areas, leaving minimal to no impacts to the surrounding environment.
As the unincorporated areas of Van Zandt County have no zoning, developmental, environmental, or other land use regulations, ordinances, or permit requirements, Project proponents did not have a formal opportunity to present site plans or receive feedback from the local community. The goal of this website is to provide important project information to interested parties, and to provide a mechanism for community and stakeholder input.
Adjacent landowners have received notification directly from Project proponents, with the same information provided by this website. For more information, questions, or concerns, please click "Contact" above or use this link to contact us directly: https://amadorenergystorage.webflow.io/contact
The developer enabled the reuse of 900 EV batteries to make up the grid-connected energy storage system. Element Energy''s technology has immediate and significant impacts for the growing global battery market.
“With our commercial project in West Central Texas, we have validated our technology at scale,” Element Energy CEO and co-founder Tony Stratakos said in a statement. “We are now focused on deploying our growing supply of second-life batteries."
Batteries for electric vehicles eventually reached the end of their useful EV life, but still possess about 80% of storage capacity, according to technology certification firm UL (Underwriter’s Laboratory). Most of this second-life EV batteries can be repurposed and connected for stationary power such as backup energy or grid services.
Element Energy was awarded $7.9 million by the U.S. Department of Energy to complete the commercial project. The funding was provided from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support technologies and processes for second-life battery applications.
Element Energy has received and screened about 2 GWh of second-life batteries and plans to deploy the batteries for grid-scale projects. For the 2 GWh of batteries procured by Element Energy, approximately 8,500 metric tons of post-recycling waste and 150 metric tons of CO2 is expected to be avoided by reusing instead of recycling batteries.
The partnership would pair Element Energy’s containerized energy storage and battery management system with LG Vertech’s system integration, power equipment, software and maintenance services.
Element Energy has raised $111 million in capital comprising a $73 million Series B equity investment and a $38 million debt facility provided by Keyframe Capital Partners.
Other firms exploring second-life battery technology include Canadian startup Moment Energy. The company has secured a $20.3 million U.S. Department of Energy grant to build a manufacturing plant for repurposing EV batteries also in Texas.
