Enel's Ellis County solar-and-storage project at Saltillo

Stampede is Enel's solar-and-storage project in Ellis County. EIA's June 2026 inventory records 255.9 MW of solar nameplate plus a 72.2 MW / 115 MWh battery; Enel separately markets the project on DC bases as 326 MWdc solar and 86 MWdc storage.
