ESS' Iron Flow Batteries Selected By Indian Energy And The California Energy Commission To Demonstrate Utility-Scale Resilient Microgrids; Phase 2 Of Research At The RICU Was Funded By The CEC In May 2024 Through A $4.85M Agreement
ESS' non-lithium, long-duration energy storage technologies will enable energy resiliency and affordability for Native American Tribes and the Department of Defense
ESS Tech, Inc., (ESS) (NYSE:GWH), a leading manufacturer of long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems for commercial and utility-scale energy storage applications, today announced that it will participate in the Rapid Integration and Commercialization Unit (RICU) at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The RICU is a living laboratory for testing how leading LDES technologies can be integrated into utility-scale microgrid applications. The RICU is a venture between Indian Energy, the California Energy Commission (CEC), and the Department of Defense (DOD) to validate LDES technologies. Phase 2 of research at the RICU was funded by the CEC in May 2024 through a $4.85M agreement between the CEC and Indian Energy to demonstrate the diverse capabilities of LDES technologies. The partnership with Indian Energy lays the foundation for deployment on CEC grants and DOD installations.
