Eos Energy Storage Secures Strategic Investment from and Manufacturing Partnership with Holtec International

Eos Previews Plans for Manufacturing Automation and Launch of its Gen2 Battery Solution at Solar Power International

EDISON, New Jersey, September 24, 2018 - Eos Energy Storage ("Eos") - pioneer of the value enhancing Znyth® battery - today announced a strategic investment from and manufacturing partnership with Holtec International ("Holtec"). Under the partnership, Holtec has acquired a significant equity stake in Eos. The partnership will support commercialization of the Gen2 Eos Aurora® DC battery system and help to establish an automated manufacturing facility in the United States. Together, Eos and Holtec will deliver and support cost-competitive energy storage solutions that enable dispatchable solar or wind, increase utilization of grid infrastructure, and improve resiliency for commercial/industrial and utility customers.


Holtec, a global supplier of turnkey equipment and services to the nuclear power industry, will establish a subsidiary called HI-POWER to build and operate manufacturing capacity in the U.S., with plans to grow internationally. "HI-POWER hopes to build its first plant in Camden, NJ to fulfill a rapidly growing global demand for energy storage using Eoss innovative technology," said Dr. Kris Singh, Holtecs President & CEO.

Eos first-of-its-kind manufacturing process entails rapid deployment of highly automated, localized production lines which can be easily replicated in markets across the world. Each line is capable of producing up to 400MWh/yr of the Gen2 Eos Aurora product with improved product quality, cost and reliability. Key product features include:
• Pre-integrated, single-drop enclosure that reduces on installation time, field work, and onsite cabling requirements
• Expanded scope including newly-integrated thermal management, DC disconnect and auxiliary power capabilities for outdoor-rated, plug-and-play deployment
• Enhanced serviceability with added DC control cabinet, allowing for more streamlined module replacement and more competitive long-term warranties

"We are thrilled to preview our Gen2 solution and distributed manufacturing capability at Solar Power International given that our product is optimally suited for solar + storage applications," said Philippe Bouchard, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Marketing at Eos.
