Balanced Rock Power (BRP), a leading developer of solar and energy storage projects in the United States, has announced significant progress across its renewable energy portfolio. The company has successfully developed and sold the Two Brothers Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project, a major milestone that represents BRP’s third BESS project located within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region. The Two Brothers project is a 150 MW energy storage facility strategically located along the Texas Gulf Coast, a region known for persistent transmission congestion and increasing energy demand.
The site was selected as part of BRP’s broader strategy to address high-volatility load pockets in the Houston and South Texas zones. Since the beginning of 2022, BRP’s development teams have screened hundreds of substations throughout South Texas to identify optimal locations with strong potential for grid support and long-term economic value. This detailed siting approach helped ensure the project’s feasibility and attractiveness to investors. Despite a crowded interconnection queue in ERCOT, the Two Brothers project stood out due to its well-planned location, the economic advantages it offers, and a clear pathway to completion.
BRP had already secured an executed interconnection agreement and procured critical long-lead equipment, including high-voltage breakers and generator step-up units (GSUs). These milestones positioned the project to meet the commercial operation date (COD) as outlined under its signed Standard Generation Interconnection Agreement (SGIA). In the second quarter of 2025, the Two Brothers project was sold to a private equity-backed independent power producer (IPP) specializing in energy storage. The successful sale further demonstrates BRP’s ability to deliver high-quality energy infrastructure in competitive markets.
John Knight, CEO of Balanced Rock Power, stated, “Our recent project sale closings underscore our proven expertise in large-scale solar and energy storage solutions, positioning us at the forefront of the transition to clean, reliable and affordable energy. With a dedicated team and innovative strategies, we’re committed to expanding our portfolio and accelerating the shift toward a more sustainable and resilient energy landscape.”
In addition to the Two Brothers project, BRP has achieved the sale of a combined 2,625 MW of solar and energy storage projects across Arizona, California, and Texas, with expected development timelines spanning 2024 and 2025. These transactions reflect the company’s growing influence and execution capabilities in the renewable energy sector. BRP remains committed to expanding its portfolio of clean energy assets across the United States. Through its disciplined development process, strategic site selection, and innovative project execution strategies, the company continues to support the nation’s transition to a more reliable and sustainable energy future.
