ESS Tech, Inc. (“ESS,” “ESS, Inc.” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GWH), a leading manufacturer of long-duration energy storage systems (LDES) for commercial and utility-scale applications, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“The core investment thesis for ESS remains as strong as ever – we have a massive and important emerging market opportunity in front of us, a top tier, forward-thinking customer base, and a differentiated, IP-protected, scalable technology tailor made to serve them. We continue to make strong progress on our key operational initiatives, but have faced challenges that have delayed our revenue ramp. Our Australian partner has had great success signing contracts with major utilities and securing funding to build a factory to help meet the high demand for long-duration energy storage in Queensland. However, delays in completion of this funding affected our ability to ship and recognize revenue in Q3 for units that were already built. We are receiving payments and are shipping units now so we are optimistic we will get this over the finish line in the fourth quarter and that, coupled with EC product shipments, should lead to $9 to $11 million in revenue for the year, leading to meaningful year-on-year growth,” said Eric Dresselhuys, CEO of ESS. “On the operational side, our first Energy Center for Portland General Electric has been operating with high reliability and availability and we successfully built and are testing our second EC product on the same site. We’ve been gleaning valuable insights from these units – from build to test to operation – to further improve our processes and design as we prepare for the ramp of our EC products. Optimized for larger scale deployments to meet the needs of the broader utility industry, our EC products can provide double the capacity of our Energy Warehouses with the same footprint. We continue to aggressively execute on our cost reduction activities as we scale our operations, efficiently manage our resources and drive to profitability.”
Recent Business Highlights
- On November 1, ESS executed the credit agreement with the Export-Import Bank of the United States, or EXIM, for the first $20 million tranche of the $50 million funding package previously announced, becoming the first energy storage manufacturer to be supported by the Make More in America Initiative of EXIM. This funding is long-term, low interest, and non-dilutive capital to finance expanding manufacturing capacity. For further details, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 5, 2024.
- We have built and installed the second Energy Center for Portland General Electric and are now in testing. Final hand-off to PGE is expected in Q4. We've started building and expect to start shipping our first commercial EC products in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Drone footage of Tesla facility sparks excitement online: ‘I’m thinking 2024 will be an incredible year’
Story by Laurelle Stelle •
Posted 11h ago
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/drone-footage-of-tesla-facility-sparks-excitement-online-i-m-thinking-2024-will-be-an-incredible-year/ar-BB1hdVnJ
Arecent drone flyover of Tesla’s Lathrop Megafactory shows the company’s progress on its incredible grid-scale battery Megapacks, Teslarati reported.
The footage, which emerged in December, showed an aerial view of the California facility where Tesla produces its Megapacks. In addition to revealing two Tesla Semis and some smaller battery units in the lot, the video also revealed 339 Megapacks in the company’s holding lot.
Tesla Megapacks are huge battery packs designed to be hooked up to the electrical grid. According to the company, they each hold enough electricity to power 3,600 homes for one hour.
Teslarati lays out the numbers: There is a two-hour unit that provides 1.9 megawatts of power and 3.9 megawatt-hour of energy and a four-hour unit that offers 1 MW of power and 3.9 MWh of energy. Units range from $1,270,310 (four-hour version without installation) to $2,123,590 (the more powerful two-hour version, with installation included).
That means the 339 Megapacks shown in the drone footage could provide over 1.3 gigawatt-hours of energy, or enough to power a city of more than a million households for an hour.
And it will only ramp up from here. As Teslarati explained, the Lathrop Megafactory has a capacity of 10,000 units per year, with another 10,000-unit factory soon to open in Shanghai.
During Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said, per Teslarati, that “the Energy division is becoming [Tesla’s] highest-margin business” and added that Tesla “energy and service now contribute over half a billion to quarterly profit.”
Those batteries are being incorporated into grid upgrades around the globe. The Oberon Solar + Storage project in California relies on Megapacks to hold the clean energy it’s generating, and Victoria, Australia, plans to use Megapacks for one of the world’s largest battery projects.
That’s important because affordable and clean methods for generating energy, including solar and wind, don’t create electricity on demand. They generate power when conditions are right, like when the sun is up or the wind is blowing. To switch from expensive and polluting fuel sources such as coal to ones that cost consumers less and keep the planet clean, we need lots of battery storage — and Tesla has positioned itself perfectly to provide it.
“I heard somewhere that Tesla energy growth has been pretty good,” one commenter said. “I’m thinking 2024 will be an incredible year.”

Project with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center highlights opportunity for LDES to reduce diesel consumption and improve energy resilience in remote applications
ESS Tech, Inc. (“ESS”) (NYSE: GWH), a leading manufacturer of flexible, sustainable and responsible long-duration energy storage systems for commercial and utility-scale applications, today announced the commissioning of an Energy Warehouse (EW) system at the Contingency Base Integration Training Evaluation Center (CBITEC) operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) , located at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
ESS is currently delivering EWs to utility and industrial customers worldwide. The recently commissioned unit at the CBITEC replaces a prototype ESS system, initially deployed in 2016, and completes ESS’ obligations under the original agreement with the USACE. The new EW has been incorporated into a tactical microgrid at CBITEC and will demonstrate the key role that long-duration energy storage, specifically iron flow battery technology, can play to reduce fuel consumption at Contingency Bases (CB) such as Forward Operating Bases or other temporary use locations providing humanitarian assistance or disaster relief.
“Flexible, long-duration energy storage, like the ESS system, reduces total runtime on generators while increasing efficiency and allowing generators to last longer at Forward Operating Bases,” said Tom Decker, Operational Energy program manager at USACE ERDC. “ESS’ safe and resilient technology can dramatically reduce refueling logistics requirements and has the potential to assist in transition to renewable energy. We look forward to demonstrating to all service branches how incorporating an iron flow battery can increase resiliency in military power applications.”
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with USACE ERDC with delivery of an Energy Warehouse. This project will demonstrate the critical role of energy storage for energy security in remote and challenging locations,” said Eric Dresselhuys, CEO of ESS. “We are proud to provide a solution that can support the critical mission of our armed forces worldwide.”
Currently, most CBs are powered by diesel generators which continually adjust output to meet demand. Variation in output results in inefficient operation, increasing fuel consumption. The delivery of fuel to military bases overseas often happens at a 4:1 ratio in previous conflicts and could be as much as 10:1 in future conflicts, potentially putting personnel at risk. Thus, reducing fuel demand at CBs reduces costs and emissions while also reducing unnecessary fuel resupply.
The tactical microgrid at the CBITEC is used to simulate a variety of conditions experienced at CBs in the field and will demonstrate the opportunity for energy storage to optimize diesel generator performance. It is expected that the addition of long-duration energy storage to microgrids at CBs will enable generators to operate at peak efficiency and could reduce diesel consumption by up to 40%. In addition, the microgrid at CBITEC can be leveraged to test the incorporation of solar generation, further reducing the need for diesel fuel.
ESS iron flow technology provides resilient long-duration energy storage and is ideal for applications that require up to twelve hours of flexible energy capacity. ESS systems are well-suited for multiple use cases including utility-scale renewable energy installations, remote microgrids, energy resilience applications, solar load-shifting and peak shaving, and other ancillary grid services. ESS technology is safe, sustainable and has a 25-year design life with unlimited cycling and without capacity fade.
