ESS launches in Europe

• Energy storage outfit will begin European deployment of its long-duration batteries in H2 2022

United States energy storage player ESS has broadened its procedures right into Europe to meet demand in the region for the company's long duration energy storage (LDES) systems.

ESS is scheduled to start European deployment of its long-duration batteries during the 2nd half of 2022.

The European area is anticipated to require as much as 20TWh of long-duration energy storage if it is to fulfill UN climate modification goals of Grid Net-Zero by 2040.

With the transition to renewable energy set to accelerate adhering to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the use of LDES will certainly additionally lower the dependency of European countries on gas-powered generation of electricity.

ESS' market growth in Europe includes the appointment of Alan Greenshields as supervisor of Europe, to look after client adoption as well as deployment of the company's LDES solutions.

Greenshields brings over 25 years of experience to ESS in elderly exec roles and also has actually held several board-level settings at battery innovation companies.

The European region has actually revealed strong demand for LDES solutions to sustain solar and also wind energy resources, and transition grids far from fossil fuels.

As a sign of this demand, ESS has already revealed consumer orders from ENEL in Spain for the delivery 17 ESS Energy Warehouse iron flow battery systems, supplying an integrated capacity of 8.5 MWh, which will be made use of to sustain an EU-backed solar farm and also supply resilience for the local power grid.

ESS's long-duration batteries are produced making use of iron, salt, as well as water, and supply clients, risk-free, low-cost, as well as sustainable energy storage.

" Based on our success in the US, it makes good sense to bring our modern technology to the European market where demand is so strong," claims Eric Dresselhuys, CEO of ESS.

" LDES technologies are the only means we can combat the devasting impacts of climate modification. We are releasing remedies today that will certainly help the European area to concurrently accelerate the transition to lasting energy resources as well as accomplish its energy security goals."
