Established in 2011, ESS Inc. manufactures low-cost, long-duration all-iron redox flow batteries for commercial and utility-scale energy storage applications requiring 4+ hours of flexible energy capacity. Its product, Energy Warehouse™, uses iron, salt, and water for the electrolyte, and delivers an environmentally safe, long-life energy storage solution for the world’s renewable energy infrastructure.
Based in Wilsonville, Oregon, ESS Inc. was founded by a team with deep experience in fuel cells, electrochemistry, advanced material science and renewable energy. After five years of intensive innovation, engineering development and rigorous testing and validation, with the backing of ARPA-E and others, the company began shipping turnkey energy storage solutions in 2015.
