Announced Strategic Partnership with Honeywell
ESS Tech, Inc. (“ESS,” “ESS, Inc.” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GWH), a leading manufacturer of long-duration energy storage systems for commercial and utility-scale applications, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
“In the third quarter, ESS again made significant progress executing on improving our internal operations, commissioning units at existing customer sites, strengthening our balance sheet, and broadening customer traction. This progress with our customers and operations is reflected in our year to date revenue of $4.7 million, which is an increase of nearly 700% from last year. I’m also pleased to share that we successfully completed commissioning of a number of Energy Warehouses, including the six we delivered to Sacramento Municipal Utility District last quarter,” said Eric Dresselhuys, CEO of ESS.
“Worldwide demand for reliable, safe, energy storage technology is growing rapidly and is reflected in the solid customer demand we’re seeing in the market. We continue to expect a material increase in revenue in the fourth quarter, which should lead to $9 million in revenue for the full year. Furthermore, our transformative partnership with Honeywell serves as a tremendous validation of the unique value proposition of our iron flow battery and our position in the market. The collaboration between ESS and Honeywell will not only strengthen our technology, operations and go-to-market, but the cash infusion from Honeywell also bolsters our balance sheet and extends our cash runway well into 2025. In addition, we’re well underway in building our first Energy Center with Portland General Electric and expect it to be operational this year, which should translate to shipping commercial units in the second half of 2024. Combined, these drivers in our business positions ESS for long-term growth and profitability expansion.”
Recent Business Highlights
- In September 2023, ESS entered into a strategic collaboration with Honeywell to advance technology development and market adoption of iron flow battery energy storage systems. Honeywell has made an investment in ESS as part of this collaboration, adding $42.5 million to our balance sheet, and will incorporate ESS technology in their clean energy go-to-market efforts, with an initial target to purchase $300 million of ESS product in the coming years. ESS will also integrate Honeywell’s flow-battery IP with its own extensive IP portfolio.
- ESS is finalizing its agreement with LEAG, a major German energy provider, for the first phase of their multi-year project targeting commissioning in 2027 to build a 500 MWh iron flow battery system at the LEAG Boxberg Power Plant site in Germany. This installation, when complete, will create a repeatable building block to support LEAG’s objective to create up to 20 GWh of storage to be paired with solar and local hydrogen production, creating the largest green-energy hub in Europe.
- In Q3, ESS completed commissioning of six Energy Warehouse™ systems that were delivered to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) last quarter for the first phase of our relationship to support SMUD’s 2030 Zero Carbon Plan. As previously announced, ESS has agreed to supply up to 2 GWh of long-duration energy storage over the next four years in the form of Energy Warehouses™ and Energy Centers™. As part of this multi-year agreement, ESS also intends to set up facilities for battery system assembly, operations and maintenance support and project delivery in Sacramento, creating local, high-paying jobs. In addition, ESS and SMUD plan to team up with local colleges and universities to establish a Center of Excellence to expand and train the workforce that will be needed to support long-duration energy storage technology.
- In September 2023, ESS was awarded an Export Achievement Certificate by the United States Department of Commerce for expanding global deployment of its American-made, innovative long-duration energy storage technology. The Export Achievement Certificate is presented by the U.S. Department of Commerce to American companies making significant contributions to exports. Exports of ESS’ iron flow battery systems have increased significantly over the past year as global demand for long-duration energy storage continues to grow.
- In August 2023, Stanwell Corporation, a major electricity generator owned by the Queensland government, and Energy Storage Industries Asia Pacific (ESI), our Australian partner, unveiled an initial iron flow battery energy storage system pilot project at the Stanwell Power Station. Subsequently, in October, the Premier of Queensland announced that the state government plans to expand this project to a 150 MW installation and Stanwell has taken an option to purchase up to 200 MW of storage per year thereafter.
- On August 17, 2023, Jeff Loebbaka was named Chief Commercial Officer of ESS.
On August 29, 2023, ESS announced the appointment of Harry Quarls to its Board of Directors as Chairman. Michael Niggli, the ESS Founding Board Chairman, will remain on the board to assist with this transition. Harry Quarls has over four decades of energy experience and brings considerable strategic, financial, transactional, and energy investing experience to ESS.
