Peak Energy Deploys Lowest Cost Energy Storage Solution in Response to Energy Affordability Crisis

Breakthrough passively cooled sodium-ion system enables lowest cost of ownership for grid storage, drives down energy costs

Peak Energy, a U.S.-based company developing low-cost, giga-scale energy storage technology for the grid, announced today the successful deployment and operation of its groundbreaking passively-cooled energy storage system. The proprietary system is designed to cut lifetime project costs, paving the way for more affordable energy delivery at a time when electric bills are rising nationwide. Peak Energy's solution enables utilities and independent power producers (IPPs) to deliver the fastest-to-market energy capacity solution with the lowest cost of ownership.

With U.S. household energy costs forecasted to rise as much as 18% in coming years driven in large part by new demand and transmission costs, utilities are searching for cost-effective solutions. Peak's proprietary design eliminates active cooling, reduces moving parts, and extends battery life, cutting lifetime costs by more than $100 million for a typical project deployment.

"Storage is critical to solving America's dual energy crises of affordability and availability," said Landon Mossburg, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Peak Energy. "With the lowest operating cost of any storage system in the market today, Peak Energy is proud to have developed a ready-to-deploy answer to energy affordability."

First unveiled in July, Peak Energy's sodium-ion (NFPP) based storage system is now operating at SolarTAC in Watkins, CO. Peak's grid-ready system is operated in partnership with nine utilities and IPPs, representing the largest energy storage project developed in the United States. The deployment will collect and distribute operational and modeling data from the real-world operation of Peak Energy's unit across the project's participants. Commercial-scale projects are expected to begin in 2027.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
