GoodPeak, a rapidly growing utility-scale battery energy storage and solar platform, closed construction credit facilities with Pathward and BridgePeak Energy Capital, enabling commencement of construction of its first two 10-MW (2-hour duration) energy storage projects near Houston, Texas. These projects, which will come online at the end of 2025, will provide critical capacity to enhance grid reliability, support renewable energy integration, and strengthen the Texas energy infrastructure.

With the recent backing from Current Equity Partners and other strategic investors, GoodPeak anticipates significant expansion in 2025 and beyond.  GoodPeak plans to expand and diversify its development pipeline to include larger projects, integrated power generation and data center development opportunities.

Founded by Trent Kososki (former Stonepeak and ECP executive) and Hayden Stanley (former founder of Trilogy Power), GoodPeak develops, builds, owns, and operates battery storage and generation assets in high-value, constrained locations with advantaged economics. The company is backed by a deep network of industry leaders, including prominent founders, executives, investors, family offices, and advisors in the power and renewables sector.

As part of its continued growth, GoodPeak has appointed PJ Fielding, former Kayne Anderson Portfolio Manager and Current Equity Partners co-founder, and Dana Frix, former Managing Partner at Chadbourne & Parke, to its Board of Directors. Their deep expertise in infrastructure, renewables, private equity, regulatory strategy and development will help guide GoodPeak’s expansion efforts.

“Breaking ground on our first energy storage projects marks a major milestone for GoodPeak in helping to solve Texas’ grid challenges,” said Trent Kososki, Founder and CEO of GoodPeak. “These projects will provide much-needed resilience to the grid, storing excess power during times of low demand and delivering it when it’s needed most—helping to stabilize energy prices, support renewable integration, and enhance overall reliability. Securing our construction debt financing was a critical step in our ascent, and we’re grateful for world-class partners in Pathward and BridgePeak. The addition of Current Equity as a strategic investor further strengthens our position as we build and expand our platform—with many more mountains to climb!”

Christopher Soupal, Pathward Divisional President and Revenue Lending Officer, said, "Pathward's construction debt financing for GoodPeak's ERCOT projects demonstrates our commitment to supporting innovative energy storage solutions. We're proud to be GoodPeak’s lending partner to deliver solutions to Texas and provide grid reliability and resiliency."
