🚀 Happy Friday, and happy World Space Week! Did you know iron-air batteries have space-age roots? Iron-air was first explored with support from NASA in the 1960s! Early research into iron-air was backed by NASA, Westinghouse, the Swedish National Lab, and other global institutions. Over the decades, different applications for the technology were explored. As demand for clean, firm power surged, it became clear that iron-air could have significant potential for energy storage on the electric grid. Today, we’re commercializing iron-air batteries with multi-day energy storage systems capable of cleanly and affordably delivering power for 100 hours – designed to transform how we power modern electric grids. 🪐 And one last fun fact for this Friday: iron is one of the most abundant metals in the universe! #WorldSpaceWeek #IronAirBatteries #EnergyStorage #MultiDayEnergyStorage

It was a pleasure to host U.S. Energy @SecretaryWright and U.S. @SenatorCollins last month at the proposed site of our 85 MW / 8,500 MWh multi-day energy storage project in Lincoln, Maine. The project is part of Power Up New England – a partnership across the six New England states, major utilities, Form Energy, and @ENERGY. The goal: a more resilient, reliable grid – and lower electricity costs for New England families and businesses.

Using iron-air batteries made in America at Form Factory 1 in West Virginia, the system is expected to store enough energy to reliably power around 65,000 Maine households, reducing the need for costly transmission upgrades and easing strain during the highest-cost hours on the grid.

🇺🇸 Exciting to see Form Energy's role in the Power Up New England initiative spotlighted by @DOEelectricity! Power Up New England is a transformative public-private partnership between the six New England states, utilities, Form Energy, and the U.S. Department of Energy. As part of the initiative, we’ll deploy an 85 MW / 8,500 MWh multi-day battery system – built with iron-air batteries made at Form Factory 1 in Weirton, WV – at the site of a former pulp and tissue mill in Lincoln, ME. Capable of continuously dispatching power for 100 hours, the system will strengthen the reliability and affordability of New England's grid during periods of stress – like harsh winters – while delivering direct economic benefits to the local Lincoln community through lease payments, property tax revenue, and construction jobs. Special thanks to our project partners, including @ENERGY, @MassDOER, and the Maine Department of Energy Resources. Together, we’re advancing American energy security, domestic manufacturing, and grid modernization for New England and the country. 📹 Watch the DOE Office of Electricity’s video below to learn more!
Innovative batteries built in a former steel town in West Virginia are heading to New England to support the grid when it’s under the most strain, boosting reliability and helping to lower energy costs. 🔋⚡ Watch the full video: youtu.be/y7VLTfHG2CQ?si=p2y6…
