Eos Energy Enterprises, a manufacturer of zinc-based battery energy-storage systems, will relocate its headquarters<\/a> from Edison, N.J., to Pittsburgh and expand production in Allegheny County with a $352.9-million investment that state officials call a cornerstone of Pennsylvania\u2019s clean-energy manufacturing push.<\/p>\n

The project, announced Oct. 21 by Gov. Josh Shapiro and the Pennsylvania Dept. of Community and Economic Development (DCED), will create at least 735 new jobs and retain 265 existing ones, totaling about 1,000 positions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The commonwealth said it has committed $22 million in incentives for the move: a $10 million Pennsylvania First grant, $12 million from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program\u2014including $3 million awarded in 2022\u2014and Allegheny County\u2019s $2 million contribution from its economic-development fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnergy demand is rising, and Pennsylvania is doubling down on its strengths as a national energy leader and net exporter,\u201d Shapiro said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re competing for\u2014and winning\u2014major projects like this one by cutting red tape, building out our skilled workforce, and investing in the next generation of energy technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eos said it will lease a 432,000-sq-ft industrial facility in the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh to add new automated production lines for its aqueous-zinc battery systems. The company currently leases two smaller facilities nearby, where an initial expansion phase began in 2024.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2008, Eos manufactures stationary energy-storage systems under its proprietary Znyth technology, marketed for utility-scale, industrial and commercial applications. The firm reports that roughly 91% of its component content is domestically sourced.<\/p>\n

The expansion\u2014known internally as Project AMAZE\u2014is designed to increase manufacturing throughput, reduce per-kilowatt-hour costs and strengthen the company\u2019s U.S. supply chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough Project AMAZE, we\u2019re proving you can make things in America again by pairing advanced manufacturing with innovative software,\u201d CEO Joe Mastrangelo said, adding that the firm is \u201cdoing it here in Pennsylvania to build a more efficient and secure energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The corporate headquarters will relocate in late 2026 to a 40,000-sq-ft space at Nova Place, a redeveloped complex on Pittsburgh\u2019s North Shore. Eos said the office will host its software, analytics and controls teams developing the firm\u2019s DawnOS battery-management platform.<\/p>\n

Rick Siger, DCED secretary, said the project \u201cwill create and sustain 1,000 jobs while expanding opportunity for people across western Pennsylvania.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He credited the incentive package\u2019s layered structure\u2014grants, capital assistance and potential tax credits\u2014for making the relocation financially feasible.<\/p>\n

Plant Retrofit and Project Outlook<\/p>\n

The Marshall Township build-out will require new process-equipment foundations, electrical distribution systems, high-capacity HVAC, materials-handling infrastructure and integration of factory automation with Eos\u2019s proprietary software stack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At\u00a0a\u00a0Glance:\u00a0Eos\u00a0Energy\u00a0Expansion<\/p>\n

Location: Marshall Township and Pittsburgh, Pa.<\/p>\n

Investment: $352.9\u00a0million private<\/p>\n

Public Support: $10\u00a0million PA First grant, $12\u00a0million RACP, $2\u00a0million Allegheny County<\/p>\n

Facilities: 432,000-sq-ft manufacturing plant (150 Thorn Hill Rd., Marshall Twp.); 40,000-sq-ft HQ at Nova Place<\/p>\n

Jobs: 735 new + 265 retained = ~1,000 total<\/p>\n

Technology: Aqueous zinc Znyth\u2122 battery systems; DawnOS\u2122 controls platform<\/p>\n

Federal Support: $303.5 million DOE Loan Programs Office (Project AMAZE)<\/p>\n

Timeline: Manufacturing expansion 2024\u201326; HQ relocation late 2026<\/p>\n

Local officials said they expect permitting for the tenant fit-out to appear on township planning dockets later this year, with bid packages anticipated in early 2026. The company has not yet identified its architect or construction manager.<\/p>\n

Stefani Pashman, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, said Eos\u2019s decision affirms \u201cthe value proposition this region offers at the nexus of energy, manufacturing and innovation.\u201d She added that the move \u201cwill strengthen our region\u2019s position as a hub for advanced energy storage and attract new suppliers, partners and innovators.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eos\u2019s expansion builds on an ongoing federal partnership. \u00a0In December 2024, the U.S. Dept. of Energy\u2019s Loan Programs Office<\/a> closed a $303.5-million loan guarantee under its Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program to fund Project AMAZE, supporting Eos\u2019s scaling to 8 GWh of annual battery-system production capacity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DOE officials said the deal represented \u201ca model for domestic battery manufacturing using non-toxic, non-lithium chemistry,\u201d and the project aligns with other clean-tech manufacturing announcements in the Pittsburgh region.<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi Electric Power Products recently broke ground on a $92.7-million manufacturing and testing facility north of the city, while Mainspring Energy plans a 300,000-sq-ft clean-tech plant supported by $8.6 million in state funding. Together they mark what economic-development officials describe as a reindustrialization wave centered on electrification, automation and energy storage.<\/p>\n

With its layered public-financing package, Pennsylvania officials say the Eos project will help reestablish Pittsburgh as a growing hub in America\u2019s battery-manufacturing network\u2014giving the Steel City\u2019s long-evolving industrial base another chance to build what it once supplied: the hardware of modern energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eos Energy Enterprises, a manufacturer of zinc-based battery energy-storage systems, will relocate its headquarters from Edison, N.J., to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[12620,12713,4124,12648,28,30,29],"class_list":{"0":"post-17872","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pennsylvania","8":"tag-battery","9":"tag-battery-storage","10":"tag-federal-funding","11":"tag-federal-spending","12":"tag-pennsylvania","13":"tag-pennsylvania-headlines","14":"tag-pennsylvania-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
