The agreement begins with a committed 400-MWh first phase planned for delivery in 2028.
The agreement follows two grid-connected deployments of Ore Energy's technology. In February, Ore Energy announced the completion of a grid-connected pilot of its iron-air system at EDF in France, the first iron-air long-duration storage pilot of its kind in Europe. Conducted between August and November 2025, the pilot demonstrated that the system can store and discharge energy for up to four days under real-world utility conditions. The company had previously deployed a grid-connected installation in Delft, the Netherlands, validating integration into existing European distribution infrastructure.Iron-air batteries store energy by reversing the rusting process. During charging, surplus renewable electricity converts iron oxide (rust) back into metallic iron. During discharge, the iron rusts in a controlled oxidation that releases electrical energy. The inputs are iron, water, and air.Ore Energy's system is designed to store energy for up to 100 hours at significantly lower cost per MWh than lithium-ion for multi-day durations. The chemistry is non-flammable by design and produces no thermal runaway risk.
Scenario analysis using the PyPSA-Eur modeling framework, conducted by TU Berlin, found that azero-carbon German power system optimized with iron-air long-duration storage at scale could require around 32% less wind and solar capacity, curtail about 44% less renewable output, and deliver substantially lower annual system costs compared with a scenario without long-duration storage. These are scenario-based modelling outcomes; results will vary by grid configuration and deployment assumptions.—This content was contributed by Ore Energy.
