Zinc hybrid cathode battery and storage system maker Eos Energy Enterprises has announced a strategic partnership with the US Department of Defense (DoD) to “enhance the resilience of national defence infrastructure.”
Announced 15 July by US President Donald Trump at Senator Dave McCormick’s Defence and National Security Summit in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, battery energy storage system (BESS) company Eos was awarded a Golden Dome for America contract to integrate “mission-ready long-duration energy storage (LDES) supporting requirements of the nation’s defence shield.”
During a lengthy speech where the president characterised China as “poor suckers” who “lose their ass” on wind energy, which “in my opinion kills the environment, kills the birds,” Trump said, “Eos in Pittsburgh just agreed to a multi-million-dollar partnership with the Department of War to build energy storage technology in support of our Golden Dome missile defence.”
