Commissioners OK consultant to facilitate abatement for proposed county battery-storage project
Summary
The court approved hiring Capeex Resources Group to facilitate tax abatement steps for the proposed Bravo BZ LLC battery storage project, described in the meeting as a potential $200 million investment; Capeex's $30,000 fee would be paid by the project operator only if the project is built.
The Zapata County Commissioners Court voted Oct. 27 to hire Capeex Resources Group to help facilitate the tax‑abatement process for a proposed Bravo BZ LLC battery storage project near the county's northern line.
Judge RMO described the project as a potential $200 million investment and said the consultant, identified in the meeting as Mr. Jeff of Capeex, would require a $30,000 facilitation fee that would be paid by the project operator only if construction proceeds. "He does not get paid unless the whole project is realized," the judge said during the briefing.
Commissioner Solis moved to hire Capeex and Commissioner Morales seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. Commissioners did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
No formal approvals for construction, permitting or abatements were taken at the meeting; this action authorizes the county to retain facilitation services and directs staff to track the project if it advances.
