WEIRTON — Irish eyes were smiling over Form Energy this week, as the battery manufacturer announced its first international agreement. “It’s the first international project that Form has announced,” explained Ted Wiley, Form COO, during a media event in Weirton on Wednesday. He noted there are other projects in development, in addition to the Form Energy agreement which will provide several avenues of opportunity for power supply in the country. Form Energy’s iron-air battery systems are designed to provide 100 hours of energy support, which, coupled with existing energy generation sources, can relieve local transmission congestion while strengthening Ireland’s energy independence. “I am delighted to be at this signing ceremony between FuturEnergy Ireland and Form Energy, to mark what is an exciting and important new partnership that will help boost and expand Ireland’s clean energy usage,” McEntee said Tuesday.
