Strong start to the 3-day ERCOT Market Summit in Austin, TX! Texas is experiencing unprecedented energy demand growth alongside a massive shift to renewables—leading the nation in wind and solar generation. By 2030, ERCOT must meet 60+ GW of new load from AI data centers, oil production electrification, and population growth. Over the next few days, we’re diving deep into market dynamics, policy shifts, and investment trends shaping the future of generation and storage. As the largest renewable energy producer in the U.S., Texas offers critical insights into the evolution of the entire U.S. grid. At XL Batteries, we’re engaging with stakeholders across the ecosystem to highlight how these shifts create new opportunities for long-duration energy storage. As ERCOT evolves, innovative storage solutions will be key to balancing intermittent renewables, delivering firm and reliable power, and—most importantly—lowering electricity costs. Great to catch up with folks and make new connections as we work together to transform how the world is powered. Looking forward to the discussions ahead! #ERCOT #EnergyStorage #LDES #GridInnovation

Big milestone for XL Batteries! Our team just put the finishing touches on the first-ever Organic Flow Battery? pilot unit—signing the container door before shipping it from our HQ in Massachusetts to our customer in Texas. Next up: installation, testing, and commissioning. This deployment is a major step forward as we scale our technology and bring long-duration energy storage to the grid. Exciting times ahead—stay tuned!

We're excited to join the Long Duration Energy Storage Council as a technology member alongside respective industry leaders like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, ExxonMobil, Shell, Rio Tinto, and others. XL Batteries is proud to contribute to advancing the clean energy transition with our innovative organic flow battery solutions. Together, we're driving the future of long-duration energy storage!

Progress Update! We’re thrilled to share a behind-the-scenes look at our first subscale Organic Flow Battery? as it gets closer to deployment with our oil and gas partner in Texas. A huge shoutout to our CEO, Thomas Sisto and board members, Jeffrey Schwarz and Jeffrey W. Smith, pictured here in front of the battery stack and at the opening of our modular container that houses the pilot system, as well as the entire XL Batteries' team. Their vision and dedication are driving the future of clean, long-duration energy storage. Stay tuned for more updates as we finalize preparations and take this revolutionary technology into the field! Colin P. Nuckolls, Daniel DeWolf, Saif Qazi, CFA, Tim Chiang.

Big things are happening at XL Batteries! We're excited to announce that the first-ever subscale Organic Flow Battery? is now under construction at our headquarters in Marlborough, MA. This game-changing paid pilot will be commissioned with a high-profile partner in Texas later this year, setting the stage for a new era of long-duration energy storage. With our cutting-edge Organic Flow Battery?, we're pushing the boundaries of clean, reliable, long-duration energy storage that will help transform the future of energy grids. Stay tuned, and check back for regular updates and a formal news announcement as we build and deliver this prototype of our revolutionary solution.
