Article on CleanTechnica: "Massive Texas “Electricity Island” To Get First Ever Solar Energy Storage"

http://cleantechnica.com/2015/09/22/massive-texas-electricity-island-get-first-ever-solar-energy-storage/

Here are some of the more savory bits (with emphasis added):

Texas has just committed to its first ever grid-connected solar system with energy storage, courtesy of home-state solar experts OCI Solar Power and the global energy storage company Younicos.
...this will be ERCOT’s first ever foray into grid-connected, utility-scale solar with energy storage [and is the] first facility [to use] battery energy storage provided by LG Chem, and chances are that it won’t be the last. Younicos and OCI have already announced that the new Texas project is just the first in a string of similar ventures around the globe.
[BESS] is similarly lagging at a total of 36 megawatts in the ERCOT market.. however, that is due for a sea change...the ERCOT market could be in for another 600 megawatts of new storage capacity in the not too distant future.
