Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have become increasingly popular since the start of the 2020s due to their ability to ramp quickly during times of peak demand. This is especially true in ERCOT, with the Texas ISO seeing more BESS capacity development than any other major U.S. power market. However, the previous trend of siting BESS near sources of intermittent generation, like wind and solar, seems to be shifting. In our latest Energy Market Insight, FactSet's Energy team delves into the state of BESS development in ERCOT and how BESS developers appear to be factoring arbitrage opportunities into where they site their batteries.
