Abstract

This article focuses on ESS Tech’s collaboration with Salt River Project (SRP) and Google on Project New Horizon, a long duration energy storage initiative at SRP’s Copper Crossing Energy and Research Center in Arizona. The project features a five megawatt, 50 megawatt-hour system using ESS Tech’s iron flow Energy Base technology, representing a non-lithium alternative aimed at supporting utility-scale renewable energy storage. Selected through SRP’s competitive solicitation process, the pilot seeks to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of iron flow batteries for extended clean energy storage, addressing challenges in grid reliability as solar and wind generation expand. With manufacturing planned to begin in 2026 and delivery targeted for 2027, the project exemplifies a collaborative effort among a utility, a technology company, and a storage manufacturer to advance scalable, long duration storage solutions beyond lithium-ion systems.
