An $8 million battery energy storage project is coming to Naval Base San Diego, using zinc-based technology that its makers tout as nonflammable.
Eos Energy Enterprises announced Tuesday the stand-alone system will help boost reliability of operations at the base and provide energy resilience to the U.S. Navy’s western fleet.
The project will be powered by Eos Z3 Cubes, with battery duration ranging from four to eight hours, depending on the use case.
The zinc-based liquid technology is different than lithium-ion batteries used in many other storage facilities.
“They’re highly safe, no flammability risk,” Eos CEO Joe Mastrangelo told the Union-Tribune of the company’s batteries. “They’re fully recyclable at the end of their useful life and they’re highly flexible.”
