Oklahoma Corporation Commissioners will hold a regular meeting on Wednesday and one of the issues to be considered is a proposed battery storage system near Ponca City.
Frontier Energy Storage’s project, proposed by Oklahoma Gas and Electric company in its power generation expansion plans has already been opposed by the Attorney General and the Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma.
The request before commissioners is approval of a 345 kilovolt above-ground electric interconnection line. Frontier Energy Storage proposes a line not to exceed 800 feet in length that will interconnect the energy storage system to an existing 345-kV transmission line terminating at the existing Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company Ranch Road substation.
Plans call for construction to begin in the third quarter of 2026 with completion a year later in the third quarter of 2027. Frontier Energy, in its filing with the corporation commission, explained its affiliate, Deriva Energy, would be the developer. It also maintained that the project is in the public interest “because it will contribute infrastructure to the Southwest Power Pool transmission system that will ultimately support grid reliability.”
The Attorney General and the petroleum group contend the battery storage system (BESS) is not a “new electric generating facility” and does not meet the definition under rules of the Corporation Commission. They also contend there is no statute allowing pre-approval of battery energy storage.
