ESS Tech, a manufacturer of long-duration energy storage systems for commercial and utility-scale applications, will deliver three Energy Warehouse systems to Coldwell Solar, a developer and builder of renewable energy projects for California's commercial, agricultural and utility sectors. The systems will be installed in a solar + storage microgrid at Roederer Estate, Scharffenberger Cellars and Domaine Anderson, California wineries in Mendocino County known for their sparkling and still wines. Coldwell Solar worked with the wineries to design a system that met their needs and the microgrid is expected to be operational in late 2023. The ESS solution will safeguard the wineries against the impacts of Public Safety Power Shutoff events and other grid interruptions to ensure winery operations 24/7, demonstrating the role that energy storage can play in rural agricultural applications and supporting the operations of a major employer in the region. In addition, the winery will avoid significant demand charges and realize energy savings by utilizing ESS technology to reduce grid electricity use during peak periods. ESS' long-duration energy storage technology is safe and non-toxic, making it ideal for wildfire prone regions. ESS Tech is based in Wilsonville, Oregon.
