Key quotes from the article:

"UL 1973 is an industry standard for stationary energy storage systems which confirms ESS modules’ quality, resilience and ability to operate safely and effectively in a variety of conditions. S200 modules power the company’s Energy Warehouse and Energy Center product lines and certification to the UL 1973 standard demonstrates the company’s commitment to safety.

In 2022, ESS also achieved certification to the UL 9540A standard, demonstrating that ESS systems pose no risk of thermal runaway and making the company’s energy storage products a preferred choice for installation in regions prone to wildfires or adjacent to populated areas.

Recent use cases illustrate the advantages of ESS’ safe and nontoxic energy storage technology. In January, ESS was selected by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to provide a battery system that will enable electrification of ground operations. The safety profile of ESS technology was a key factor in system selection given close proximity to passenger aircraft.

In addition, ESS was selected by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) to deliver up to 2 GWh of energy storage systems in support of the utility’s 2030 Clean Energy Vision. To build a resilient, decarbonized energy system, ESS technology will be deployed across SMUD’s grid. The safety and flexibility of ESS technology make it ideally suited for siting in densely populated areas where improved grid resilience is needed and safety is a top priority."
