In the context of energy storage, a MW is used to describe the amount of power that a project can either charge or discharge at any given moment in time, oftentimes referred to as the nameplate capacity in the context of conventional generation.

Are energy storage contracts a viable option in Texas?

These contracts are particularly prevalent in Texas, which is an energy-only market (i.e., there is not a separate market for the sale of capacity). As a result, many energy storage resources will enter into hedges that will provide them with some fixed revenue streams to facilitate a project financing.

What are energy storage contracts?
