Eos Energy receives US$8 million order for storage project at Naval Base San Diego
Eos Energy Enterprises, has announced an $8 million order for a large-scale energy storage system (BESS) at Naval Base San Diego.
The company noted that the project, funded entirely by a grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC), highlights Eos’ commitment to supporting U.S. national security infrastructures through domestically manufactured energy storage technologies.
This storage system will play a crucial role in improving the operational reliability of the U.S. Navy’s Western Fleet, providing energy resiliency for mission-critical functions and enhancing national security.
Justin Vagnozzi, senior vice president of global sales for Eos Energy, highlighted the importance of the project, “Our partnership with the CEC to provide energy resiliency to a key naval installation is a direct reflection of our mission to promote U.S. energy independence and support critical U.S. functions,” he commented.
The system will be powered by Eos Z3™ Cubes, known for their safety, non-flammable chemistry and low operating costs due to the absence of cooling systems. These cubes are manufactured in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, using a predominantly U.S. supply chain, underscoring the company’s commitment to domestic manufacturing and local job creation.
This order adds to Eos’ recent accomplishments in the defense and energy sectors, including other agreements with the CEC, such as self-contained storage at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base in San Diego County.
