Greenflash Infrastructure Closes Transaction for ERCOT's Largest Battery Storage Project Under Construction
LCG, October 7, 2025--Greenflash Infrastructure, L.P. ("Greenflash") today announced that it has successfully closed a hybrid tax capital and debt financing for Project Soho - a 400MW / 800MWh standalone battery storage project in Texas.
Greenflash states that Project Soho is the largest standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) currently under construction in Texas. The project, located south of Houston in Brazoria County, is ahead of schedule to energize in the first quarter of 2026.
