Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery
Peak Energy debuts the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery, cutting costs and boosting reliability with passive cooling tech.
The company says its technology slashes auxiliary power needs by up to 90%, saves about $1 million annually per gigawatt hour of storage, and cuts battery degradation by 33% over a 20-year lifespan. The US holds the world’s largest soda ash reserves, a key sodium-ion ingredient, and the full raw material supply chain can be sourced domestically or from allied countries. The company plans to ship hundreds of megawatt hours of its new system over the next two years, and it’s building its first US cell factory, which is set to start production in 2026.
