SelectROW is expanding its land and right-of-way acquisition support for battery energy storage system developers as ERCOT leads the nation in grid-scale battery storage capacity, with more than 16 gigawatts installed and additional projects in development. The company draws on decades of easement acquisition experience across the utility and renewable energy sectors.
CELINA, Texas, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Texas has become one of the nation's largest grid-scale battery storage markets, and among the firms supporting that growth is SelectROW, which has extensive experience in land and right-of-way acquisition for battery energy storage system (BESS) developers across the state.
ERCOT had more than 16 gigawatts of installed grid-scale battery storage capacity by mid-2026, up from under 8 gigawatts at the start of 2025. That buildout pace is pushing developers to seek ROW consultants for BESS with direct project experience rather than general land acquisition firms.
Why Are Texas BESS Developers Struggling to Find Experienced ROW Partners?
Many battery storage developers report a real shortage of right-of-way firms with direct experience on BESS projects. Most easement and land acquisition specialists built their track record around pipelines, transmission lines, wind farms or solar sites. Battery storage projects entail different site-control requirements and tighter interconnection timelines than more familiar asset types.
As battery storage development accelerates, project teams are seeking acquisition partners with experience navigating complex land, easement and right-of-way requirements. ERCOT's queue of proposed battery projects continues to grow, increasing the need for acquisition partners that understand the land, easement and right-of-way requirements associated with energy infrastructure development.
How Is SelectROW Supporting BESS Land and Easement Acquisition Across Texas?
SelectROW's skilled, dedicated team specializes in securing land and right-of-way interests on behalf of battery energy storage developers advancing projects statewide. The company's approach to battery energy storage land acquisition is supported by a long-tenured team and long-standing relationships with landowners, consultants and other project stakeholders.
That continuity allows seasoned staff to move projects through site search, negotiation, due diligence and closing with fewer handoffs than firms that staff up project by project. SelectROW's clients can also track parcel-by-parcel progress through a live GSuite interface that displays document status and signed agreements in real time.
For project teams, that visibility turns acquisition work into a clearer daily picture by showing which parcels are advancing, which agreements are signed, and where coordination needs to happen next. That behind-the-scenes groundwork, secured parcel by parcel, is what keeps the state's battery boom moving at the pace utilities and developers now expect.
