The facilities will manufacture <strong>Eos Z3\u2122<\/strong> zinc-bromine battery energy storage systems, designed for utility and industrial-scale applications.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These batteries are capable of powering 130,000 homes annually and will help enhance grid resilience by providing long-duration energy storage. This project is expected to create up to 1,000 jobs, including unionized positions with the <strong>United Steelworkers<\/strong>, benefiting the local economy and the region\u2019s clean energy workforce.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Eos Z3<\/strong> batteries offer significant advantages over traditional lithium-ion systems, including non-flammability, no need for active cooling, and the ability to discharge fully without degrading.
