Eos Energy Enterprises on Nov. 5 announced a new customer agreement with City Utilities of Springfield, Missouri, to provide 216 MWh of energy storage for two project sites in Missouri.
Justin Vagnozzi, Senior Vice President of Global Sales, at Eos, said “Our uniquely nonflammable battery energy storage system technology will be an asset for CU as they expand their capabilities and leverage a reliable, safe U.S.-made storage system to manage rising energy demands.”
Eos will provide 216 MWh – 36 MW by six-hour duration – to support City Utilities’ expansion goals and ability to maintain planning reserve margin of over 36% by 2026.
The project will utilize Eos’ Z3TM technology, one of the few grid-scale, U.S. manufactured alternatives to lithium-ion, “to enhance CU’s energy storage capabilities, advancing its expansion goals and strengthening reliable energy delivery to the community it serves,” the company said.
“We are fortunate to be in a position to expand our power generation capabilities and our partnership with Eos to supply battery energy storage is a key component to our success,” said Warren Brooks, Vice President - Electric Operations of City Utilities. “This is our largest investment to date in energy storage and it was imperative we chose a partner we could trust to deliver safe, reliable products to help us reach our long-term goals.”
City Utilities serves more than 120,000 electric customers in Springfield, Missouri.
