How does energy base work?

Energy Base projects can be customized to minimize visual impact and deliver up to 300 MWh/acre energy density. The Energy Base platform is designed to deliver gigawatts of long-duration energy storage in harmony with the new energy landscape.

What is energy storage?

Energy storage encompasses an array of technologies that enable energy produced at one time, such as during daylight or windy hours, to be stored for later use. LPO can finance commercially ready projects across storage technologies, including flywheels, mechanical technologies, electrochemical technologies, thermal storage, and chemical storage.

What is the long-duration energy storage project?

The project is the largest grant awarded under the Long-Duration Energy Storage Program, funded by Governor Gavin Newsom’s historic multi-billion-dollar commitment to combat climate change. Investing in new technologies such as long-term energy storage will help California achieve its goal of a clean energy system by 2045.

What is the energy base platform?

The Energy Base platform is designed to deliver gigawatts of long-duration energy storage in harmony with the new energy landscape. The Energy Base’s chemistry – mostly iron, salt and water – makes this solution one of the easiest to deploy and maintain. Fast and easy permitting.

Why should you choose ESS for Your Energy BASE project?

ESS has worked closely with leading engineering firms to develop standard, cost-effective design parameters that enable deployment of gigawatt-scale storage. Energy Base projects can be customized to minimize visual impact and deliver up to 300 MWh/acre energy density.

How many hours can the energy base deliver?

You can configure the Energy Base to deliver gigawatts of cost-effective energy storage for 8+ hours. The ability to customize power and discharge durations maximizes project flexibility and delivers cost-efficient energy storage.
