The Texas market has more installed wind power than any other state and has a rapidly expanding base of installed solar energy projects, and Georgetown is the first town in the state to move to 100% renewable energy by 2017.
The combination makes a good location for a new energy storage project that can modulate the intermittency of wind and solar power while selling regulation services to the Texas wholesale power market.
The Rabbit Hill project will also provide a transition for Ormat, a developer of geothermal power projects, into energy storage.
