It’s time to flip the script on renewable curtailment. With the U.S. set to add a record 36.4 GW of utility-scale solar in 2024, oversupply during sunny periods with low demand remains a challenge. But here’s the good news: LDES can turn this challenge into an opportunity by storing excess energy that would be curtailed - making solar projects more profitable and attractive for investors. This enables the development of more clean energy projects while strengthening the grid and helping us achieve clean energy targets. 👇 #curtailment

About us
ESS Inc. is a leading provider of long-duration (4+ hours) energy storage solutions ideally suited for C&I, utility, microgrid and off-grid applications. Our iron flow battery, the Energy Warehouse (EW), is capable of up to 8 continuous hours of energy delivery with a 20+ year operating life and no capacity degradation. Composed of earth-abundant iron, salt and water for its electrolyte, the EW is a safe, long-lasting solution with the lowest levelized cost of storage (LCOS) per kWh. ESS was founded in 2011 by a team with deep experience in fuel cells, electrochemistry, advanced material science, and renewable energy. After 5 years of extensive innovation, engineering development, and rigorous validation, backed by ARPA-E and others, we began shipping turn-key battery solutions in 2016. In 2017, BASF, the world's leading chemical company, became a significant investor in ESS, joining forces with us to deliver energy storage solutions for a sustainable future. At ESS, we are catalyzing a cleaner energy future. Follow us on Twitter at @ESS_info, or visit our website to learn more: http://www.essinc.com

Energy storage is not a "one size fits all" solution. As the market shifts and demand for diverse energy storage solutions grows, lithium-ion technology, with its short duration and limited lifespan, often falls short in many applications. ESS #LDES systems are designed to go the distance—offering reliable performance without the drawbacks of lithium. With a focus on flexibility and sustainability, we are committed to providing storage solutions that meet the unique needs of utilities and commercial customers as they integrate more renewable energy into the grid. Our iron flow technology ensures that energy can be stored and dispatched over longer periods, supporting a resilient, clean energy future without the need for frequent replacements.

As we celebrate the second anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), it’s clear that the future of American clean tech manufacturing is shining brighter than ever. As the U.S. gears up to meet an estimated need for 30-40 TWh of long-duration energy storage by 2040, ESS is ready with our predominantly domestic supply chain and one of the most sustainable battery technologies available. This not only positions us to meet growing demands but also to continue delivering on the IRA's promise, driving forward America’s clean energy agenda and the global pursuit of net-zero emissions by 2050.

Sites once used for coal-fired power stations are ideal for renewable energy and storage projects, and this transition is already underway. By 2030, half of European coal plants are expected to retire creating opportunities to convert these sites into clean energy hubs using existing infrastructure. ESS is proud to partner with innovators like LEAG in Germany to transition from coal to wind, solar, and LDES. Projects like these can serve as a blueprint to accelerate clean energy deployment and achieve ambitious carbon reduction targets. Learn more 👇
