The Eos Energy Enterprises technology aligns with the priorities outlined in the DOE’s Energy Earthshot Initiative producing a safe, scalable, and efficient long-duration battery manufactured in the U.S.
   
“We want to thank Secretary Granholm and Congressman Pallone for their vision and focus on the importance of energy storage technologies for a sustainable energy future,” said Joe Mastrangelo, CEO of Eos. “America should be the leader of energy storage capabilities and innovation both domestically and for international exports. We can manufacture and scale this industry and usher in a new and long overdue era of “made in America” leadership.”
