GRANBURY, Texas — This is what modern reliability looks like on the Texas grid.
A 240-acre industrial site, along a bend of the Brazos River an hour’s drive southwest of Fort Worth, brings together old-school fossil fuels and the latest in renewables.
A natural gas power plant and a storage battery system work side by side, usually to meet the ever-rising demand for electricity in Texas. There’s also a week’s worth of backup diesel fuel on site, just in case.
