German energy giant RWE has added three large battery energy storage (BESS) projects to the company’s U.S. portfolio. The group on Feb. 14 announced the completion of two installations in Texas and one in Arizona, and said energy storage systems now comprise more than one-third of the company’s U.S. renewable energy and storage development pipeline.
RWE said the latest additions as part of its “Growing Green Strategy” are the Bright Arrow and Big Star projects in Texas, and Mesquite 4 in Arizona. The company said its global battery energy storage capacity now totals about 700 MW, with more than 1 GW of such projects under construction.
