Form Energy To Build Batteries For California Project In Weirton

12/20/2023

Weirton’s Form Energy will build storage batteries for a project in California.

Form Energy will supply iron oxide batteries for a Pacific Gas & Electric energy storage project in Mendocino County.

The $30 million project will use Form’s batteries to store and discharge power for 100 hours, according to the California Energy Commission.

That fills a gap between solar generation during the day and wind generation at night. The energy captured at off-peak times can be discharged to the grid when demand is the highest.

The batteries will be built in Weirton. The plant is under construction and will begin producing batteries next year.
