Bobcat Energy Center

The Bobcat Energy Center is a proposed 256 megawatt / 512 megawatt-hour energy storage project that will interconnect to an existing substation (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 16 acres directly adjacent to the Beecher substation, located northeast of Bloomington TX along FM 616.

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. This revenue will go to support public infrastructure improvements and Bloomington ISD

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

Safety

Safety is East Point’s top priority – this project will adhere to all relevant codes and standards for battery energy storage systems consistent with industry standards and we will coordinate closely with the relevant Fire Departments.

The American Clean Power Association (ACP) created this resource to highlight the industry’s commitment to rigorous safety standards and partnerships with the fire service that guide planning, developing, and operating each energy storage project.
