Eos Energy Enterprises has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Frontier Power for a 5 gigawatt-hour (GWh) energy storage framework agreement.

The partnership marks Eos' entry into the UK market, utilising its zinc-based long-duration energy storage systems.

The agreement aligns with Frontier's plans to bid in the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets’ (Ofgem) new long-duration energy storage cap and floor scheme.

The collaboration between Eos and Frontier will extend beyond the UK, exploring opportunities in new international markets.

Frontier Power CEO Humza Malik stated: "This agreement reflects Frontier Power’s commitment to driving innovation in clean energy while fostering international collaboration.

“By working with Eos, we are advancing our portfolio of long-duration storage projects and strengthening trade relations between the US and UK. The prospect of local manufacturing in the UK could further boost economic growth and job creation."

The partnership could also lead to local manufacturing in the UK, fostering domestic supply chains and job creation, contingent on significant project volumes materialising with Eos technology.

The UK’s cap and floor scheme, managed by Ofgem and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, aims to provide revenue certainty for innovative energy storage technologies.

It encourages investment in alternatives to lithium-ion, aligning with the UK’s goals of grid stability and increased renewable integration.

Eos’ eight-hour technology is well-suited for the scheme, supporting the UK’s broader objectives.

Eos CEO Joe Mastrangelo stated: “Our supply chain strategy was designed to be transportable. We can co-locate manufacturing capacity near customer demand and not only provide innovative energy storage, but sustainable jobs in regions that have demand for our technology. As that demand grows, both domestically and internationally, we’ll expand our manufacturing footprint, and we’re excited to partner with Frontier to execute on that vision in the UK market and beyond.”
