Event co-hosted by Clean Energy for America
commemorates one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act
and Oregon’s growing clean energy economy
ESS Tech, Inc. (“ESS”) (NYSE: GWH), a leading manufacturer of
long-duration energy storage systems (LDES) for commercial and
utility-scale applications, hosted Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Dr.
Christopher Saldaña, Director of the Advanced Materials &
Manufacturing Office at the U.S. Department of Energy, and Andrew
Reagan, Executive Director of Clean Energy for America yesterday at
the company’s headquarters and U.S. manufacturing facility in
Wilsonville, Oregon for an event commemorating the one year
anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act’s passage and the growth
of the clean energy industry in Oregon. The event, in partnership
with Clean Energy for America (CE4A), convened local and Federal
government officials and industry stakeholders for a tour of ESS’
first fully automated manufacturing line, where ESS is expanding
production of its iron flow battery technology to meet growing
demand for LDES and enable clean, reliable and resilient grids
powered by renewable energy 24/7.
ESS CEO Eric Dresselhuys, Senator Wyden and Dr. Saldaña
delivered remarks on the IRA’s contributions to the state’s and
nation’s clean energy economy and ESS’ leadership in scaling
domestic production of innovative energy storage technology. The
Wilsonville manufacturing line currently has a nameplate production
capacity of 800 MWh of battery modules per year, which the company
plans to scale to over 2 GWh in coming years.
“What I saw here at ESS only reinforced the importance of the
clean energy provisions that I fought to get passed in the
Inflation Reduction Act — strengthening domestic supply chains and
supporting clean technology innovation,” said Senator Wyden. “I
will continue to fight so that companies like ESS can keep building
a robust domestic clean energy economy and supporting jobs for
Oregon families.”
“Over the past year, the prospects for the clean energy future
have improved tremendously thanks in large part to climate and
clean energy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act. This
legislation is driving demand for American-made clean energy
technologies, such as the long-duration energy storage systems that
we manufacture right here in Oregon and deliver for clean energy
projects worldwide,” said Eric Dresselhuys, CEO of ESS. “The IRA is
delivering broad benefits to Americans. In 2022, ESS drove $170.4
million in economic activity nationwide and supported over 530
direct and indirect jobs and this will only grow as we continue to
scale our operations to meet global demand for clean energy
technology.”
ESS iron flow technology provides cost-effective long-duration
energy storage and is ideal for applications that require up to
twelve hours of flexible energy capacity. ESS systems provide
resilient, sustainable energy storage well-suited for multiple use
cases including utility-scale renewable energy installations,
remote solar + storage microgrids, solar load-shifting and peak
shaving, and other ancillary grid services. Leveraging an ethically
sourced and primarily domestic supply chain, ESS technology is
safe, sustainable and has a 25-year design life without capacity
fade.
“Expanding the domestic manufacturing and global deployment of
innovative new clean energy technologies, such as iron flow
batteries, were key goals of the Inflation Reduction Act,” said Dr.
Christopher Saldaña, director of the Energy Department’s Advanced
Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office. “American clean
technology manufacturers are already delivering against these
goals, creating jobs and secure supply chains here in the U.S. to
build the global clean energy future.”
“This facility, this company and this technology, they’re proof
of what America’s clean energy workforce can achieve, especially
when we invest in them as a country. ESS’s battery technology is
safe, sustainable, resilient, domestically produced and vital for
America’s 100% clean energy future. And so, this is the perfect
place for Oregon to celebrate the first anniversary of the
Inflation Reduction Act because ESS’s battery plant is what clean
energy success looks like,” said Andrew Reagan, Executive Director,
Clean Energy for America.
