$eose Oh ok.
$175M CEC & DOE funded non-lithium microgrid project at Camp Pendleton in progress. And we know they were planning an Eos project there last yearโฆ

1/ Did anyone know the CEC lined up an 80 MWh $EOSE project for Camp Pendleton Marine Corp Base in California? Me neither. I can't see that anyone even posted about Pendleton on Twitter related to Eos.

$eose Sunstone recommended for approval by OR Department of Energy as of today.
Looks to, at minimum, not have excluded BESS from the approval. One hurdle cleared.
Time to bring it home Eos!
$eose There may be even more room for improvement.
Breakthrough research showing Zinc Bromine batteries with 96% Coulombic efficiency over 10,000 cycles.
So can
@PoweredByEos
start dipping our graphite felt in nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon?
If $EOSE 's new patented chemistry can achieve an RTE above 85%, and lithium-ion batteries have parasitic loads (HVAC) that reduce the effective RTE by 5-10%, especially in hot weather states like TX and CA, what are the consequences here?
$eose Sunstone Proposed Order is out.
No major changes, but it does sound (IMO) more like the BESS is happening for sure, rather than being an option.
Li-ion and Zinc both still options.
Bonus: The

$eose New order for Viejas?
We knew about previous 35 MWh Eos order and 10 MWh from Invinity. Remaining 15 MWh was unaccounted for until now.
Upped from 60 to 70 MWh total, with the 25 missing MWh coming from Eos Z3 it seems.
May have already been delivered based on schedule.

$eose Honestly the insight into competitors production schedules from the CEC RFP is the most bullish thing Iโve seen in a while.
If you have a larger non-lithium BESS project in mind with 2025-2027 COD, you better get in line for Z3s now.

@in_retrotech
Question for everyone since Iโm confused. Last year $EOSE filings indicated 35MWh and based on photos may already be delivered in Gen2.3 form to Viejas parking lot. The LPO announcement talked about 38 MWh. Did EOS deliver 38? Are they getting 3 more? Or 38 more?

$eose 5 of the 9 DOE LDES Demonstration Projects have now been awarded. They started being awarded in June.
We should get more details soon on the Nextera/Eos demonstration projects in OR, WI, and ND(?).
Again, I believe this is separate of the 47 MWh project.
$eose Just figured this out.
This is now 6 of 9 DOE LDES demonstration projects awarded. Eos is one of the remaining 3, they have been awarding roughly 1 per week.
$eose Nextera is a critical customer.
First screenshot from DOE-funded Nextera/Eos pilot project description.

โReplication potential across future projectsโ, and that sounds like their long-term plan.
$eose My opinion on current status:
Everything we have seen and heard that Joe is sharing lately is essentially part of FAT.
Once they get it optimized, they basically just need to run it, collect data to show it meets spec, and have the necessary witnesses in the room.
$eose Quinbrook name dropping Eos in new Power article.

- other less commercial ready techs selected, Eos on to bigger and better things
$eose dug into BL stuff last week, made a connection with someone that was involved with EOS orders and is now working with EOS in a new capacity. Couldnโt discuss contractural terms, but offered to talk batteries. I asked about the shipping container comment, response attached:
$eose A possibility for the mythical Puerto Rico project.
3 new projects approved as part of Tranche 2 of the renewable energy tender. One of them is an undisclosed 60 MW standalone BESS project.
With recent increased demand for LDES technology caused by AI & IRA legislation, companies must quickly transition to large-scale, commercial production to meet the growing need.

$eose IMO, I donโt anticipate large orders announced or significant increase to backlog w/ Q2 call.
I do anticipate large pipeline increase and more talk of higher quality customers and longer durations.

I am thinking he means this process comes before the automated line (feeds into it) and right now it is semi-automated, but will be fully automated 2H 2024. SoTA line expected in 1H.
But maybe that is just me being hopeful.
$eose Who are these guys that liked todayโs Eos post?
Iโve seen them before, RCI Energy. Iโm guessing they did commissioning at Eastover.
They gave a glowing review of the Gen2.3 cubes and tech in general. Means a lot coming from the people working on this stuff in the field.
$eose Interesting like on todayโs Eos L-I post.
Terna is the grid operator for Italy. Theyโre implementing the MACSE mechanism to incentivize storage investment. Joe referenced this a while back as an opportunity.
This analyst also has Eos in a relatively short list of follows.
$eose Not sure if this was already posted. From Dukeโs 2023 Annual Report.
Researching multiple MW-scale non-Li LDES projects in Carolinas and FL.
Combine this with the tariffs MOU with the large tech companies and the RFI.
Good time to be scaling.
$EOSE I think we are due for some HEADLINES!!
โEssentially, these corporations would bankroll Dukeโs construction of advanced clean energy technologies to deliver on theirย 24/7ย commitments. For instance, the structure could fund early deployments of long-duration energy storageโ
$eose May have answered my own question. Automation of the process to bolt cables to battery terminals was mentioned in this video.
Just noticed on Acro website that they list โBattery Rack Assemblyโ as something they are working on for Eos.

@ThePanMan604
@x_times_1
Hey Joe, looking back here. So from what I understand now, the wiring harness will speed up the process significantly not having to untangle and lay the cables manually.
For the actual bolted connections of the terminals to the cable lugs, will that be automated at some point?
