BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Peregrine Energy Solutions LLC (Peregrine), an integrated clean-energy platform focused on utility-scale battery storage, announced today that it is advancing construction of the Mallard Energy Storage (Mallard) project, 30 miles Northeast of Dallas. The 250 MW / 500 MWh installation is a key step in Peregrine's rapid buildout of next-generation grid infrastructure across ERCOT.

Mallard Energy Storage entered into a tolling agreement with a Fortune 500 Company, which will support their reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions in Texas. Mallard will utilize Wärtsilä's Quantum2 energy storage system - marking Peregrine's second utility-scale deployment using Wärtsilä technology, joining the 150 MW / 300 MWh Wizard Energy Storage Project under construction in League City, Texas. WHC Energy Services, LLC (WHC) will serve as the EPC contractor to facilitate Mallard's construction.

The project reinforces Peregrine's strategy: deploying large-scale, high-performance storage assets that strengthen grid reliability, enable renewable integration, and support Texas' long-term energy stability.

"Mallard represents our commitment to deploying innovative energy storage solutions that strengthen the grid and support a more resilient future. By partnering with Wärtsilä for technology, and WHC for construction services, we are delivering cutting-edge technology with top safety and security track records and best-in-class execution," said Hagen Lee, CEO of Peregrine Energy Solutions.

"Peregrine's vision and the dedication of its team have been instrumental in bringing the Mallard project to life. At Wärtsilä, we believe that decarbonization and efficiency go hand in hand, and this project exemplifies what's possible when innovative leaders come together. Mallard demonstrates how advanced technology and partnerships between organizations with conviction can accelerate the transition to a global renewable energy future," said Tamara de Gruyter, President of Wärtsilä Energy Storage.

"Our role in this initiative reflects our dedication to supporting innovative energy solutions that benefit both industry and community. Peregrine's leadership on the Mallard project is outstanding. We're proud to contribute to a project that sets a benchmark for excellence in construction and engineering," said Randel Badeaux, Sr. Vice President Power Sector, WHC.

Once operational, Mallard will provide critical flexibility and resilience to the ERCOT system by responding to rapid grid fluctuations, supporting renewable generation, and participating in key reliability services.
