Key takeaways

  • MN8 and Google West Virginia project: Eos announced an agreement with MN8 Energy for 10 MW/100 MWh of Z3 storage in West Virginia, serving Google's data centers in the region. Source
  • Manufacturing consolidated into Thorn Hill: Line 1 at Turtle Creek is being relocated and upgraded, with capabilities built into Line 2; the consolidation began in late October. Source
  • Fourth-quarter capacity reduced by transition: The company expects to reduce cost per cube and improve manufacturing efficiency in future quarters, although the transition lowers fourth-quarter capacity. Source

Joe Mastrangelo, Chief Executive Officer of Eos
