Eos Energy Enterprises Invited to Submit Part II Loan Application by U.S. Department of Energy
Eos Energy Enterprises has progressed to Part II of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Renewable Energy Loan Program, aiming to expand its Turtle Creek manufacturing facility's capacity to 800MWh by year-end. The expansion will create over 125 jobs and enhance production of its Znyth™ zinc batteries. The DOE's invitation reflects Eos's compliance with technical eligibility requirements, though it's not a guarantee of funding. Eos focuses on local supply chains, targeting over 90% of raw materials sourced within five hours of its factory by year-end.
- Invitation to submit Part II loan application by the DOE, supporting expansion efforts.
- Planned expansion to triple Turtle Creek facility's capacity to 800MWh.
- Creation of over 125 green jobs as a result of the facility expansion.
- Invitation to submit Part II application does not guarantee funding or support from the DOE.
- Dependence on approval from DOE for moving forward with expansion.
Zinc battery company to expand domestic manufacturing capabilities
EDISON, N.J., Feb. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE) (“Eos”), a leading provider of safe, scalable, efficient, and sustainable zinc-based energy storage systems, today announced it has advanced through Part I of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Renewable Energy and Efficient Energy Loan Program. To be invited to submit a Part II loan application, Eos had to demonstrate to the DOE that Eos’s Znyth™ battery employs innovative technology and avoids or reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Eos will now proceed to Part II of the loan application process in support of the previously announced expansion of its Turtle Creek domestic manufacturing facility to more than triple capacity to 800MWh by year-end.
Located outside of Pittsburgh, PA, the expanded Turtle Creek facility is expected to create more than 125 green jobs and provide Eos with an additional 46,000 square feet of space to expand production of its Znyth™ aqueous zinc battery technology as customer demand continues to grow.
“We are very excited and grateful to DOE for inviting Eos to submit a Part II loan application,” said Joe Mastrangelo, Chief Executive Officer of Eos. “DOE is providing high growth U.S. companies like Eos with the opportunity to lead the global energy transition by driving a domestic manufacturing rebirth in the United States. Eos has invested in a domestic supply chain where
The Renewable Energy & Efficient Energy Projects Loan Program provides incentives to new and established renewable energy providers to implement projects, including manufacturing projects, to support and help reinvigorate, advance, and transform America’s energy infrastructure. Through its Title 17 Innovative Energy Loan Guarantee Program, it can help finance catalytic, replicable, and market-ready renewable energy and efficient energy technologies with
The DOE Loan Programs Office’s (“LPO”) invitation that Eos submit a Part II application for a loan guarantee reflects LPO’s determination that its project satisfies the technical eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable LPO solicitation based on the materials submitted to DOE as of the date of its determination. DOE’s invitation to submit a Part II application is not, however, an assurance that DOE will invite Eos into the due diligence and term sheet negotiation process, that DOE will offer a term sheet to Eos, or that the terms and conditions of a term sheet will be consistent with terms proposed by Eos. The foregoing matters are wholly dependent on the results of DOE’s review and evaluation of a Part II Application, and the DOE’s determination whether to proceed.
