Iron Flow Batteries Turn Negative Pricing into Positive Returns
Today’s energy grid was built to transmit power from large, centralized generating stations (usually powered by coal or nuclear) to distant load centers. The dynamics of the grid are evolving rapidly as more intermittent renewable electricity is added, creating economic and operational challenges and opportunities across the system.

This Earth Day, We’re Building the Sustainable Energy Storage Future
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | In the decades since the first Earth Day, the 22nd of April has become a global call to action, focusing attention on big environmental challenges and the shifts needed to ensure a healthy, livable planet for generations to come.
Winter Grid Resiliency Needs Long-Duration Energy Storage
By Hugh McDermott | Power outages due to extreme weather are not new. However, our aging grid combined with an increasingly unstable climate have caused power outages related to extreme weather to double over the past 20 years.
2023: A Breakthrough Year for Clean Energy
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | As 2023 draws to a close, it is shaping up to be the warmest year on record complete with, now routine, climate disasters including unprecedented wildfires in Canada and extreme atmospheric rivers which buried California with 237% of normal snowpack and led to significant flooding, underscoring the urgency of the climate crisis.
COP 28: Momentum is Building in the Global Clean Energy Transition
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | This month, world leaders again gathered for the 28th U.N.F.C.C.C. Conference of the Parties (COP 28) in Dubai to discuss how to further accelerate global decarbonization.
The EU Sets the Stage for Sustainable Battery Technologies to Power the Clean Energy Transition
Demand for energy storage is growing rapidly as the electrification of transportation accelerates and the global economy shifts towards intermittent wind and solar generation. One recent study estimated a 14-fold increase in battery demand globally by 2030 to support rapidly growing EV and grid-scale energy storage needs.
ESS Celebrates a Year of Progress Since Passage of the Inflation Reduction Act
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | Last week, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Action (IRA) at ESS.
Long-duration Energy Storage Beats the Heat
By Hugh McDermott, Senior VP of Business Development and Sales | As temperatures have skyrocketed around the globe this summer the threat of climate change has felt more present than ever. Heat waves have become synonymous with power shortages and outages, especially in arid states like California, where there have been multiple high-profile instances in recent years. Long-duration energy storage will be key to reducing emissions and preventing power outages.
