Commercial optimisation for 29.7 MW of front-of-the-meter battery storage assets in Texas has been commenced by GridBeyond. This provides Ai-driven optimisation, forecasting and Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) services for SmartestEnergy’s South Texas battery portfolio in the USA.
SmartestEnergy's "Texas Ten" PPA portfolio has begun with three 9.9 MW battery energy storage systems located in Cotulla, Palmview and Edinburg, now actively participating in ERCOT’s real-time and day-ahead energy markets under GridBeyond’s optimisation and QSE representation.
Through its technology platform, GridBeyond combines AI-driven battery optimisation, energy price forecasting, automated bidding and QSE scheduling. This full-stack approach enables each asset to be dispatched into the right market at the right time, maximising revenue opportunities while managing degradation, state of charge and operational constraints.
GridBeyond's proprietary Bid Optimizer is purpose-built for this environment, leveraging advanced Ai to simultaneously optimise across energy and ancillary service products, aligning market price forecasts with battery state-of-charge simulations. This helps battery owners and investors respond to market volatility, capture stacked revenue opportunities and improve long-term asset performance.
Sean McEvoy, US President & Chief Product Officer at GridBeyond, said: "Battery storage is becoming significantly more sophisticated. Success in ERCOT is no longer determined simply by market participation, but by the ability to make thousands of optimisation decisions across multiple value streams while respecting asset constraints. Bringing these three BESS projects into commercial operation in ERCOT demonstrates the strength of our platform and our ability to deliver full-service solutions across multiple US ISO markets. Our team in Austin delivers real-time optimisation, market forecasting, and QSE services to help asset owners capture greater long-term value in one of the world’s most dynamic power markets."
Gavin Baker, VP Trading and Origination, SmartestEnergy US, said, "As ERCOT's market continues to evolve, having the right optimisation strategy and market expertise is critical to maximising the value of battery storage assets. Our continued collaboration with GridBeyond reflects our shared commitment to delivering innovative, data-driven solutions that help assets perform in an increasingly sophisticated market."
Across the U.S., GridBeyond provides optimsation and market access services across CAISO, ERCOT, PJM, MISO, and SPP, managing a rapidly growing portfolio of utility-scale battery storage, large flexible loads, and renewable generation assets. With 5+ GW under management globally and 900+ MW of battery storage, the company continues to expand its North American footprint to meet rising demand for intelligent, technology-led asset management.
