Texas has 6.3GW of battery capacity installed largely in the last three years and is on track for another ~15GW (a bit over 20GW total) by the end of 2024. There's 141GW of battery projects in the queue for connection to ERCOT, with a large chunk of that coming online in 2025 and 2026.
If 8GW over several is the most ambitious, what's 160GW in five years?

Meanwhile rates in Texas have risen a good bit...to $0.14-15/kWh.
