Eos Energy Storage Secures Strategic Investment from and Manufacturing Partnership with Holtec International
Eos Previews Plans for Manufacturing Automation and Launch of its
Gen2 Battery Solution at Solar Power International
Eos
Energy Storage (“Eos”) – pioneer of the value enhancing Znyth®
battery – today announced a strategic investment from and manufacturing
partnership with Holtec International (“Holtec”). Under the partnership,
Holtec has acquired a significant equity stake in Eos. The partnership
will support commercialization of the Gen2 Eos Aurora® DC battery system
and help to establish an automated manufacturing facility in the United
States. Together, Eos and Holtec will deliver and support
cost-competitive energy storage solutions that enable dispatchable solar
or wind, increase utilization of grid infrastructure, and improve
resiliency for commercial/industrial and utility customers.
Holtec, a global supplier of turnkey equipment and services to the
nuclear power industry, will establish a subsidiary called HI-POWER to
build and operate manufacturing capacity in the U.S., with plans to grow
internationally. “HI-POWER hopes to build its first plant in Camden, NJ
to fulfill a rapidly growing global demand for energy storage using
Eos’s innovative technology,” said Dr. Kris Singh, Holtec’s President &
CEO.
Eos’ first-of-its-kind manufacturing process entails rapid deployment of
highly automated, localized production lines which can be easily
replicated in markets across the world. Each line is capable of
producing up to 400MWh/yr of the Gen2 Eos Aurora product with improved
product quality, cost and reliability. Key product features include:
-
Pre-integrated, single-drop enclosure that reduces on installation
time, field work, and onsite cabling requirements
-
Expanded scope including newly-integrated thermal management, DC
disconnect and auxiliary power capabilities for outdoor-rated,
plug-and-play deployment
-
Enhanced serviceability with added DC control cabinet, allowing for
more streamlined module replacement and more competitive long-term
warranties
“We are thrilled to preview our Gen2 solution and distributed
manufacturing capability at Solar Power International given that our
product is optimally suited for solar + storage applications,” said
Philippe Bouchard, Senior Vice President of Business Development and
Marketing at Eos.

About Holtec International:
Holtec International is a privately held energy technology company
with operation centers in Florida, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania in
the US, and globally in Brazil, Dubai, India, South Africa, Spain, UK
and Ukraine. Holtec’s principal business concentration is in the nuclear
power industry. Holtec has played a preeminent role since the 1980s by
densifying wet storage in nuclear plants’ spent fuel pools deferring the
need for and expense of alternative measures by as much as two decades
at over 110 reactor units in the US and abroad. Dry storage and
transport of nuclear fuel is another area in which Holtec is recognized
as the foremost innovator and industry leader with a dominant market
share and an active market presence in eighteen countries. Among the
Company’s pioneering endeavors are the world’s first below-ground
Consolidated Interim Storage Facility being developed in New Mexico and
a 160-Megawatt walk away safe small modular reactor, SMR-160. The
SMR-160 is developed to bring cost competitive carbon-free energy to all
corners of the earth including water-challenged regions. Holtec is also
a major supplier of special-purpose pressure vessels and
critical-service heat exchange equipment such as air-cooled condensers,
steam generators, feedwater heaters, and water-cooled condensers.
Virtually all products produced by the Company are built in its three
large manufacturing plants in the US and one in India. Nearly 100 US and
international patents protect the Company’s intellectual property from
predation by its global competitors and lend predictable stability to
its business base. To learn more about Holtec International, visit: www.holtecinternational.com.
