Equinor begins operation of its largest US battery storage project at 100MW Citrus Flatts facility in Texas
Equinor has started operations at the Citrus Flatts Energy Center, a 100MW/200MWh battery storage facility located in Harlingen, Texas. This marks Equinor's largest energy storage project to date in the US and is part of East Point Energy’s portfolio, which now includes two operational projects following the launch of Sunset Ridge (10MW/20MWh) last year. The Citrus Flatts facility will support grid stability by storing surplus electricity during off-peak hours and releasing it when demand peaks. The project operates on a merchant basis in ERCOT's market, contributing to energy security for approximately 30,000 Texas households. Equinor is also developing four additional battery storage projects in Virginia’s PJM power market with an expected completion date of early 2027. This expansion aligns with Equinor’s strategy to strengthen its onshore renewable presence and optimize value across the energy chain through integrated operations, including collaboration with trading unit Danske Commodities.
