There is a gap in the market for long-duration energy storage (LDES), according to US-based manufacturer ESS Inc. – one which can’t be plugged with lithium-ion chemistry. Hugh McDermott, of ESS Inc. tells pv magazine how he thinks iron flow batteries fit into the energy system of the future, as the company pursues global expansion.
Kelly Goodman, current Vice President of Legal, has been appointed interim CEO. Eric Dresselhuys has resigned from the role of CEO and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Flow batteries are a strong contender to provide storage capacity, and when that inflection point is reached, ESS and its investors look well-positioned to benefit given iron redox flow batteries advantages over vanadium and lithium-ion.

In this episode, Alan Greenshields, Director EMEA, talks about long-term storage systems and the prospect of iron flow technology—powered by sustainable materials like iron, salt, and water—will transform energy storage as we know it.
Energy Digital speaks to execs at Intersolar in Munich to explore how technology is leveraged in the energy industry & how it is propelling sustainability.
Oregon-based flow-battery developer ESS Inc. says it is learning from its existing deployment projects to scale up and modify its long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology to meet a wider variety of requirements.
By Eric Dresselhuys, CEO | Long-duration energy storage will enable faster recovery from climate-driven disasters.
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.
