MN8 Energy (MN8), a scaled power platform, Eos Energy Enterprises (NASDAQ: EOSE) (Eos), a U.S. manufacturer of zinc-based long-duration energy storage systems, and Google, today announced a collaboration to deliver new, clean, around-the-clock energy resources to the PJM grid in support of growing demand in the region.
Owned and operated by MN8, the project combines 86 MW of utility-scale solar, 10 MW/100 MWh of Eos’Z3™ zinc-based long-duration energy storage, and 70 MW/280 MWh of lithium-ion energy storage. The integrated portfolio adds new clean, dispatchable capacity to the grid serving Google’s data centers in the region, including a planned project in West Virginia. The solar project is expected to reach commercial operation in 2028, with lithium-ion storage and long-duration storage following in 2029 and 2030, respectively.
Built on a reclaimed coal mine in West Virginia, this project is expected to create economic opportunity in a community with a long energy history. Based on MN8’s estimates, it represents up to $350 million in capital investment and is expected to generate approximately $4 million in property tax revenue for the county and local schools over the first 20 years of operations, with millions more in the 15-20 years that follow. Construction is expected to create approximately 200 jobs, with additional full- and part-time roles supporting the project throughout its operating life.
The project’s impact also extends across the PJM interconnection, connecting new energy infrastructure in West Virginia with American manufacturing and regional innovation. MN8 and Eos maintain significant operations and workforces across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, from MN8 projects spanning the region to Eos headquarters and manufacturing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Together, the companies support domestic supply chains and regional economies.
