ESS Announces LOI with Juniper Energy for 500 MWh or More of Sodium-Ion Energy Storage Deployments
LCG, July 22, 2026--ESS Tech, Inc. (ESS), a provider of non-lithium energy storage solutions, today announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Juniper Energy LLC, a renewable energy development company, for the deployment of 500 MWh or more of sodium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) by 2032. The LOI establishes a framework for a long-term partnership focused on deploying ESS's sodium-ion BESS across multiple projects.
The initial collaboration per the LOI will be a 10 MW/80 MWh energy storage project in California. The project is expected to include ESS's recently announced modular sodium-ion AC solution–Bridge™, along with an ESS Energy Management System (EMS). The project is targeted to commence commercial operation in 2027.
The CEO of Juniper Energy said, "Juniper Energy is focused on partnering with companies that can successfully bring innovative energy technologies from development into commercial operation. ESS has demonstrated its ability to integrate, deploy, and scale advanced energy storage solutions, giving us confidence in its ability to execute on next-generation sodium-ion technology. We look forward to working together to validate the ESS Bridge energy storage platform and support its broader adoption across future energy storage projects."
The CEO of ESS stated, "This agreement with Juniper Energy validates ESS's strategy to expand our technology portfolio and bring sodium-ion energy storage to market. The planned deployment and long-term procurement framework reflect the accelerating customer demand we are seeing for safer, domestically sourced alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries."
The ESS announcement noted that, unlike conventional lithium-ion systems, ESS's sodium-ion technology utilizes abundant materials and is designed to reduce exposure to geopolitical supply chain risks and Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) restrictions while supporting domestic energy infrastructure development. Furthermore, ESS stated that it "believes increasing demand for its domestically sourced, non-lithium energy storage solutions is creating significant opportunities across utility-scale energy storage, AI data centers, commercial and industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure applications."
