Bobcat Energy Center

The Bobcat Energy Center is a proposed 256 megawatt / 512 megawatt-hour energy storage project that will interconnect to an existing transmission line (Beecher Substation owned by AEP). At peak output, this project will discharge the electricity necessary to power nearly 200,000 homes for a 2 hour period.

The project will be sited on approximately 15 acres of rotational cattle grazing land located southwest of interstate 87 and northeast of Bloomington, TX.

Project at a Glance

Electrical Grid Impact: Enhance the reliability and resiliency of the local electrical grid

Economic Impact: This project will generate millions of dollars in tax revenue over the project’s life cycle, a majority of which will directly benefit the Bloomington School District

Environmental Impact: The project has no air pollutions emissions and limited noise pollution

Traffic impact: After construction, there will be no long term impact on traffic – Less than 1 car per day during operations
