BESS road-use agreement, Wharton County, TX From MuniciPal · one-page brief attached

Wharton County’s September 28, 2026 Commissioners Court agenda lists item 9 as a proposed action:

Take all appropriate action to approve Road Use Agreement Between Wharton County and Cernan BESS, LLC (Battery Energy Storage System). (Commissioner Mathews)

Project: Cernan BESS, ERCOT 27INR0392, 10.04 MW. The agenda does not state the agreement’s terms. The official sources checked so far do not show whether a vote occurred, so no outcome is inferred.

A week in the court

  1. Thursday

    The county posts Monday’s agenda. Texas requires 72 hours’ notice.

  2. Friday

    We read the agenda and the packet. If an item names your project, the alert goes out.

  3. Monday

    The Commissioners Court meets. Your team already knows what is on the table.

  4. Minutes posted

    We check the official minutes and update the status: adopted, or still unverified.
