PA Governor Josh Shapiro will be in Turtle Creek Tuesday afternoon to announce a major investment.
The governor's office says Eos Energy will move its headquarters from New Jersey to Pittsburgh and invest more $350 million to expand its battery manufacturing operations in Allegheny County.
It is estimated more than 730 new jobs will be created and over 260 jobs will be retained.
“The demand for energy is going up — and my Administration is capitalizing on Pennsylvania’s strengths as a national energy leader and net energy exporter to attract leading energy manufacturers like Eos Energy to the Commonwealth,” said Governor Shapiro.
“We’re doubling down on our efforts to aggressively compete for — and win — major projects like this one by cutting red tape, building out our skilled workforce, and investing in the next generation of energy technology. I’m proud that Pennsylvania will be home to Eos’ new global headquarters — and my Administration will continue to work to cut energy costs, create good-paying jobs, and position the Commonwealth to continue to be a national energy leader for decades to come.”
“Our collaboration with Talen marks a significant milestone for Eos and the broader Pennsylvania energy ecosystem,” said Joe Mastrangelo, Chief Executive Officer of Eos Energy. “By pairing Talen’s operational expertise and infrastructure with Eos’ safe, scalable zinc-based storage technology, we’re demonstrating how American innovation can strengthen grid resiliency, address a national security imperative, and power the next generation of digital infrastructure with urgency.”
Eos was founded in 2008 and manufactures and develops “American-made aqueous zinc batteries” which are used in power storage.
