Greenprint Capital has secured US$92 million in tax equity financing for the 150MW/300MWh Revolution battery energy storage system (BESS), one of three projects Spearmint is developing in ERCOT, Texas. The new investment tax credit (ITC) for standalone energy storage was used to finance the BESS system, which is expected to overtake California’s largest market in the next year.
