It was a pleasure to host U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and U.S. Senator Collins last month at the proposed site of our 85 MW / 8,500 MWh multi-day energy storage project in Lincoln, Maine. The project is part of Power Up New England – a partnership across the six New England states, major utilities, Form Energy, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The goal: a more resilient, reliable grid – and lower electricity costs for New England families and businesses. Using iron-air batteries made in America at Form Factory 1 in West Virginia, the system is expected to store enough energy to reliably power around 65,000 Maine households, reducing the need for costly transmission upgrades and easing strain during the highest-cost hours on the grid. We're proud to be building this in Lincoln, and proud to be doing it with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER), the Maine Department of Energy Resources, and the Town of Lincoln, Maine as our key partners. Thank you, Secretary Wright and U.S. Senator Collins, for the visit, and to all our partners for your continued support for this project.

We’re pleased to welcome Wes Sloan to Form Energy as Chief Operating Officer. Wes brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across advanced manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and automotive. He joins Form from Panasonic North America, where he served as EVP overseeing their multi-billion dollar Nevada battery operation and a team of over 4,500 people. Prior to Panasonic, Wes spent 12 years at Rolls-Royce, including as Director of Operations for Assembly and Test. As Form continues to accelerate scale-up of our iron-air battery manufacturing and commercial deployment, Wes’s deep operational leadership, expertise in high-volume battery production, and background as a certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, will be instrumental in driving our next phase of growth and operational excellence. Want to join Wes and the team building the future of energy storage? We're #hiring across our operations and manufacturing teams!

🇺🇸 Exciting to see Form Energy's role in the Power Up New England initiative spotlighted by the Office of Electricity | U.S. Department of Energy! Power Up New England is a transformative public-private partnership between the six New England states, utilities, Form Energy, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). As part of the initiative, we’ll deploy an 85 MW / 8,500 MWh multi-day battery system – built with iron-air batteries made at Form Factory 1 in Weirton, WV – at the site of a former pulp and tissue mill in Lincoln, ME. Capable of continuously dispatching power for 100 hours, the system will strengthen the reliability and affordability of New England's grid during periods of stress – like harsh winters – while delivering direct economic benefits to the local Lincoln community through lease payments, property tax revenue, and construction jobs. Special thanks to our project partners, including the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER), and the Maine Department of Energy Resources. Together, we’re advancing American energy security, domestic manufacturing, and grid modernization for New England and the country. 📹 Watch the DOE Office of Electricity’s video below to learn more!

We’ve raised $750 million in Series G financing, led by T. Rowe Price, bringing our total equity raised to date to over $2 billion. Thank you to our long-standing investors for their continued partnership, and a warm welcome to new investors Sequoia Capital, Janus Henderson Investors, Franklin Templeton, and PEAK6 Investments. This capital accelerates our manufacturing ramp-up in Weirton, West Virginia, and speeds the deployment of our 100-hour iron-air battery systems. We're excited to welcome Navneet Govil and Wes Sloan to the Form Energy leadership team as we enter our next phase of growth. As we scale manufacturing and prepare to deliver our breakthrough iron-air battery technology at commercial scale, we're hiring across manufacturing, engineering, and commercial teams in Weirton and beyond.
