Eos Energy battery manufacturer spends $352.9 million to expand Pennsylvania factory

Eos Energy Enterprises will relocate its headquarters from New Jersey to Pennsylvania and expand its manufacturing operations in the Pittsburgh area, according to a release from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

The company, which designs, sources, and manufactures zinc-based batteries, is spending $352.9 million on the move and expansion, backed by $22 million from the state. According to the Pennsylvania DCED, the move will create 735 new jobs in the area.

Eos currently manufactures aqueous zinc batteries for utility and industrial use in two factories in Turtle Creek, on the southern side of Pittsburgh. The expansion will add a 432,000-square-foot facility in Marshall Township, about twenty miles away from Turtle Creek, for new production lines. The company headquarters will move into an office in Pittsburgh’s North Shore neighborhood.

What people are saying

“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 Pennsylvania Governor Josh 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.”

“In today’s competitive environment, and in what we’re working to achieve in powering the nation’s future, you need not only natural resources and technology innovations, but also a strong public-private partnership,” said Joe Mastrangelo, CEO of Eos Energy. “What we are announcing today is built upon a strong industrial history, combined with a world class university ecosystem. Pennsylvania is positioning itself at the forefront of America’s energy transition — enabling us to bring America’s battery to scale.”

“With this expansion, Eos is strengthening two of the key industries at the center of our Economic Development Strategy — energy and manufacturing,” said DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “We are committed to positioning Pennsylvania as both an energy leader and an economic powerhouse and bold investments like this one will help us get there. This project will create and sustain 1,000 jobs while expanding opportunity for people across Western Pennsylvania.”
