The company is backed by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Gates' clean energy investment firm; SB Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank; and multinational chemical company BASF, among other investors.
The company said its “thermal energy storage technology uses renewable energy to heat carbon blocks to temperatures so hot they glow like the sun,” and then later releases that heat “on demand to the grid as electricity.”
A report from Reuters Events, released Dec. 11, said increasing power generation from renewable resources and rising use of electric vehicles will make energy storage a priority for investors in the coming years. The report said storage technology will continue to play a major role in the energy transition as cleaner energy replaces fossil fuels.
Le Scornet, a former global marketing executive for GE Renewable Energy, said, “As you know, energy storage helps mitigate these problems by storing excess electricity produced during periods of high generation and releasing it when demand is high.
Quidnet Energy CEO Joe Zhou estimates the round‑trip efficiency of its GES system at about 65% maximum, with likely real‑world performance closer to 50% due to economic trade‑offs in design, MIT Technology Review reports.
"There have been very few solutions for this long duration up until now, and it's largely driven from the fact that we didn't rely on energy storage as a major solution for hardening the system," said Dresselhuys, who became the CEO of ESS this year after decades of energy and technology executive experience.
