ESS, SB Energy reach major deal for flow battery technology with 2 GWh agreement
SB Energy, a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group, reached an agreement to purchase 2 GWh of iron flow energy storage from Oregon-based ESS — a major deal for the emerging technology.
In the deal, SB Energy will deploy iron flow battery systems to complement solar power projects in Texas and California through 2026. The first system has already been delivered to a solar generation site in Davis, Calif. and will be installed this month.
