Celebrating the IRA with ESS

On Tuesday, August 15th Clean Energy for America joined ESS Tech, Inc. in celebration of the Inflation Reduction Act’s one year anniversary at ESS’ manufacturing facility in Wilsonville, Oregon. The event convened local and federal officials – including US Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and DOE Director of Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Dr. Christopher Saldaña – for a tour of ESS’ first fully automated manufacturing line, where the company is expanding production of its ion flow battery technology.

Senator Wyden and Dr. Saldaña also delivered remarks on the IRA’s contribution to the nation’s clean energy economy and ESS’ leadership in scaling domestic production, as part of a panel discussion moderated by CE4A’s Executive Director Andrew Reagan.
