CPS Energy deploys first solar cell storage project in Texas

CPS Energy, a natural gas and electricity supplier to San Antonio, recently announced the opening of its first solar and battery storage project in Texas, an important step
in leveraging innovative technology to produce zero-emission renewable energy during high energy days.

The $16.
3 million project, built by leading renewable energy company RES Americas, will include a 5-megawatt solar power facility and a 10-megawatt battery storage system
at 9800 West Commerce in San Antonio, Texas, according to reliable information.

The project has been completed in three years, and CPS has partnered
with the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a San Antonio research and development organization.
As a project partner, SwRI provided nearly 50 acres of land for the implementation of solar facilities and battery storage systems to gain valuable insights
into solar production and battery energy storage efficiency.

CPS Energy's CEO and President said the company has taken an important step
forward in advancing its battery storage system technology in response to the current energy crisis.
He also said the project aligns with CPS's flexible path strategy, allowing the company to reduce its carbon footprint while expanding its knowledge
in solar, battery storage and energy expertise.

CPS Energy reportedly received EPC contracts for the project, about 22 RFPs
.
However, the company chose RES because of their combination of value, technology and financial capabilities for the construction and turnkey installation
of the project.

In addition to companies already building or under construction 3GW of wind and 238 MW solar projects in the state, the newly announced solar projects will mark RES's first battery storage project
, the executive vice president of RES said.
Texas will leverage RES's leading energy storage control platform, RESolve
