Cypress Creek Renewables Adds Clean, Dispatchable Solar and Storage to the ERCOT Grid With Newest Operational Project
DURHAM, N.C., May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cypress Creek Renewables, a leading solar and storage developer and independent power producer, announced today that it has completed construction and reached commercial operation of its newest and largest hybrid facility, Zier, in Brackettville, Texas. The facility adds capacity to the grid as the need for energy in the state grows to an all-time high.
北卡羅來納州達勒姆,2024年5月6日 /PRNewswire/ — 領先的太陽能和存儲開發商兼獨立電力生產商賽普拉斯溪可再生能源公司今天宣佈,其位於德克薩斯州布拉克特維爾的最新、最大的混合動力設施齊爾的建設並實現商業運營。隨着該州的能源需求增長到歷史最高水平,該設施增加了電網的容量。
The power plant boasts 208MW of photovoltaic capacity, enough power to supply more than 41,600 Texas homes annually, with 80MWh of battery storage, which has already been utilized by the ERCOT grid to ease supply strain in a time of increased demand.
該發電廠擁有208兆瓦的光伏容量,足以每年爲德克薩斯州的41,600多戶家庭提供電力,以及80兆瓦時的電池存儲空間,ERCOT電網已將其用於緩解需求增加時期的供應壓力。
"Clean reliable power is critical to supporting the remarkable continuing growth happening in Texas," Sarah Slusser, CEO of Cypress Creek Renewables said. "We are incredibly proud to be bringing online more solar and dispatchable energy from batteries like ours at Zier, which have already proven vital to keeping the lights on and the air conditioning running when Texans need it most."
賽普拉斯溪可再生能源首席執行官莎拉·斯盧瑟說:“清潔可靠的電力對於支持德克薩斯州持續的顯著增長至關重要。”“我們非常自豪能夠從像齊爾這樣的電池中獲得更多的太陽能和可調度能源,事實證明,這對於在德州人最需要的時候保持燈光開啓和空調運行至關重要。”
Cypress Creek celebrated the commercial operation of the site with a ribbon cutting event for their supply, construction, financial and community partners in Kinney County on May 2, 2024. The project will provide $11.5 million in tax revenue to the county with an additional $11.7 million earmarked for the Bracket Independent School District.
2024年5月2日,賽普拉斯溪在金尼縣爲其供應、施工、財務和社區合作伙伴舉辦了剪綵活動,慶祝該場地的商業運營。該項目將爲該縣提供1150萬澳元的稅收收入,另外1170萬澳元專門用於Bracket獨立學區。
"Texas needs every available megawatt, and low-cost renewable energy has proven critical as it continues to reach new production heights in ERCOT," said Judd Messer, Texas Vice President of Advanced Power Alliance. "Solar energy is ensuring sufficient capacity during day-time peak, setting records nearly every month, and quick-responding energy storage delivers a substantial reliability benefit when demand soars or when dispatchable energy unexpectedly falls offline. A diverse mix of resources is the only way to ensure our grid achieves both reliability and affordability, and it's encouraging to see new projects such as Cypress Creek's facility coming online to help secure these benefits for Texas."
德克薩斯州先進電力聯盟副總裁賈德·梅塞爾說:“得克薩斯州需要所有可用的兆瓦特電力,事實證明,低成本可再生能源在ERCOT繼續達到新的產量高度的過程中至關重要。”“太陽能可確保白天高峰期的容量充足,幾乎每個月都創下紀錄,當需求激增或可調度能源意外脫機時,快速響應的儲能可帶來顯著的可靠性優勢。多樣化的資源組合是確保我們的電網實現可靠性和可負擔性的唯一途徑,令人鼓舞的是,像Cypress Creek的設施這樣的新項目上線,以幫助德克薩斯州獲得這些好處。”
Cypress Creek is backed by EQT Partners, a purpose-driven global investment organization.
Cypress Creek得到了以目標爲導向的全球投資組織殷拓合夥人的支持。
"The Zier Hybrid Solar Site sets a new standard for large scale renewable energy projects and is a critical step towards supporting Texas' expanding power demands driven by a growing population, ever increasing data center demand with the rise of AI, and electrification," said Alex Darden, EQT Partner and head of Infrastructure, Americas. "EQT is committed to helping drive the energy transition forward by backing companies like CCR, and the immense scale and impact of this project is a testament to Cypress Creek's commitment to transforming North America's energy infrastructure."
殷拓合夥人兼美洲基礎設施負責人亞歷克斯·達登表示:“齊爾混合太陽能基地爲大規模可再生能源項目設定了新標準,是支持德克薩斯州不斷擴大的電力需求的關鍵一步,這些需求是由人口增長、人工智能興起而不斷增加的數據中心需求以及電氣化推動的。”“殷拓致力於通過支持CCR等公司來幫助推動能源轉型,該項目的巨大規模和影響力證明了Cypress Creek對改造北美能源基礎設施的承諾。”
Financing for the project was supplied by several partners including the North American Development Bank (NADBank), a binational financial institution established to provide support for projects that preserve, protect or enhance the environment to advance the well-being of the people of the United States and Mexico. Managing Director of the infrastructure financier, John Beckham, spoke at the May 2 event.

"NADBank is pleased to finance projects that contribute to the State of Texas leading the country in clean energy generation. Combined solar and battery storage projects, like this one, are vital for ERCOT's grid reliability and energy availability to power our great state," said John Beckham, Managing Director of the NADBank. "Today, we celebrate this project coming online thanks to a strong partnership with Cypress Creek Renewables, a like-minded entity focused on developing sustainable energy infrastructure."
“NADBank很高興爲有助於德克薩斯州在清潔能源發電領域處於全國領先地位的項目提供資金。NADBank董事總經理約翰·貝克漢姆說,像這樣的太陽能和電池存儲綜合項目對於ERCOT的電網可靠性和能源可用性至關重要,爲我們這個偉大的州供電。“今天,我們慶祝該項目的上線,這要歸功於與Cypress Creek Renewables的緊密合作,這是一個志同道合的實體,專注於發展可持續能源基礎設施。”
