Blanquilla is located in Nueces, Texas. The project has a 201MW capacity, and is expected online in December 2027.

Additionally, the projects are expected to use zinc hybrid cathode battery and storage system maker Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc’s Z3 zinc LDES battery technology. Closing remains contingent upon the successful closing of Eos’s recently announced rights offering.

The selected projects represent the first projects to advance under the previously announced strategic framework between FPUSA and Stella, which established a path to convert Stella’s late-stage development pipeline of mover 2GWh of BESS projects onto the FPUSA platform, with Stella serving as FPUSA’s designated execution partner.

The selected project portfolio is also expected to utilise FPUSA’s previously announced 2GWh capacity reservation agreement with Eos.

Upon execution of definitive agreements, FPUSA will fund 100% of construction equity to the projects, with Stella serving as the designated execution partner through to commercial operation.

FPUSA’s equity foundation is built upon the previously disclosed commitment from Cerberus Capital Management-managed funds and accounts, with additional backing anticipated from Hudson Bay Capital’s previously announced investment and capital raised through the rights offering.

The company has engaged KKR Capital Markets to assist in structuring long-term project financing across its portfolio.

Frontier Power maintains an active presence in the UK, having announced a partnership with Eos in April 2025 to deploy up to 5GWh of zinc hybrid cathode battery storage.

Targeting the UK regulator Ofgem’s new cap and floor revenue mechanism for LDES, Frontier Power has also formed a partnership with Anglo-American vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) manufacturer Invinity. Through an agreement announced in February of last year, Frontier Power secured up to 2GWh of Invinity VRFB systems for project bids into the LDES support scheme’s solicitation rounds.
