Campbell, Troxclair pen letters opposing battery storage plans

Opposition to the development of a battery storage facility in Comfort has spread to the Statehouse.

After his Key Capture Energy employees got an earful in January from Kendall County residents during a public hearing, CEO Brian Hayes is now on the receiving end of letters from a Texas state senator and state representative, both echoing the same sentiment: Comfort is no place for a Key Capture Energy facility.

Key Capture Energy is a company that specializes in building large-scale battery storage systems across the country. They have proposed to build a 100-megawatt battery storage facility in Comfort, which would be connected to the ERCOT power grid.
