Taming power spikes in transient AI loads
Greenflash recently closed hybrid tax capital and debt financing for Project Soho – a 400MW / 800MWh standalone battery storage project in Brazoria County, TX – the largest standalone BESS currently under construction in the state. In addition to the innovative financing structure of the project, the scale and capacity of “Project Soho” is unique in not only its massive size, but the innovation of the “energy-ready” infrastructure designed to handle GPU-driven power spikes.
