ESS
Eric Dresselhuys is the CEO of ESS.
Any talk now of decarbonization inevitably turns to the need for energy storage. Renewables are beloved and increasingly are lined up to attach to the grid but that darn intermittency issue keeps popping up in those conversations too.
PUF turned to a CEO with some answers in the form of long-duration iron flow batteries for commercial and utility-scale energy storage applications. This is not just any CEO, but one with quite a history in smart grid, data solutions, and metering.
Eric Dresselhuys, CEO of ESS, sat down with PUF in an engaging conversation on why energy storage is the future of decarbonization. This is an important discussion on determining where the energy and utilities industry goes.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: Talk about what your company is, what this long duration energy storage alliance is about, and where you fit in.
Eric Dresselhuys: ESS is one of the founders of the Long Duration Energy Storage Council. To put it in context, ever since we've been talking about the decarbonization of the electricity system, when we've talked about renewables as the biggest way to do that, people from within the industry have said, my number one job is reliability.
