By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO| President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and ESS welcomes Energy Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm to our Wilsonville facility.
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | Wind and solar energy have declined in cost steadily and substantially since 2009 and are now the lowest cost alternatives for new generation capacity. Low costs are a positive, but an often-overlooked additional benefit is the relative price stability that renewable projects deliver.
By Chris Montgomery, VP of Supply Chain | The good news is that ESS is manufacturing a solution to this challenge and we’re doing it right here in Wilsonville, Oregon, leveraging an American supply chain that creates jobs and delivers value to communities nationwide.
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | There is broad recognition among policy makers, utilities, independent power producers and many others of the need for significant implementation of LDES to meet our decarbonization goals.
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | In California, high energy costs and unreliable electricity have become the norm. Fortunately, new long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies will soon be able to store large quantities of energy from wind and solar generators.
By Alan Greenshields, Director EMEA | To meet aggressive goals, energy storage must be incorporated as a critical component of any plan. When renewable energy penetrations exceed 25%, storage is required to maintain grid stability and mitigate the intermittency of solar and wind.
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | Achieving true energy independence will require reducing dependence upon fossil fuels controlled or heavily influenced by geopolitical foes. The path to energy independence will require building a zero-carbon, entirely renewable energy grid.
As 2021 comes to a close, we at ESS have much to be grateful for and to celebrate. To be sure, many faced continued hardship this year in ways that extended well beyond the pandemic; in the energy world, extreme weather, wildfires and power outages again disrupted...
Amid all the bustle, noise, and hot takes from the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, it may be easy to miss some of the more important, quieter, outcomes. That was true even for those of us who were fortunate to attend and get through the rain and crowds. I was...
What’s in a label? When it comes to energy storage, clear-cut definitions are still a work in progress. Thanks to rapidly advancing technology, volume-driven cost reductions, and the exponential growth of renewable generation, energy storage is now firmly entrenched...
