Latitude Media: Form’s first 100-hour batteries are hitting the grid

Form Energy, the startup making 100-hour iron-air batteries, has this month begun deploying its first commercial batteries, CEO Mateo Jaramillo told Latitude Media. The batteries will be installed at Great River Energy’s multi-day storage project in Minnesota, which is expected to be fully operational next year.

The delivery of those first batteries is a hard-won manufacturing milestone for Form, which has spent the last several years “becoming a manufacturing company,” Jaramillo explained. That process has involved building a facility, landing production equipment, operating that equipment (and then “successfully operating” it) — and then hitting the necessary yields, quality targets, and cost trajectory, he added.
