Battery Storage Facilities

East Point Energy, an Equinor company, completed Citrus Flatts, a 100 MW/200 MWh energy storage facility in Harlingen, Texas, capable of powering tens of thousands of homes for two hours at peak output. The project marks East Point's second operational site in Texas and is expected to generate millions in local tax revenue over its lifetime.
Beyond the facility, East Point donated $175,000 to improve the Harlingen Soccer Complex and commissioned a locally inspired mural for the site's front wall. The company also worked closely with Harlingen's Fire Department on emergency response training and site visits ahead of the facility's completion.
As Texas grapples with rising electricity demand, driven in part by data center growth, Citrus Flatts illustrates how battery storage projects are increasingly paired with direct community investment to build long-term local support for grid infrastructure expansion.
