Eos Energy Enterprises and Turbine-X Energy sign joint development agreement to deploy 2GWh of zinc battery storage paired with natural gas turbines for US AI data center market
Type: Partnership · Technology: Storage · Country: United States · Announced: 2026-04-17
US zinc battery energy storage firm Eos Energy Enterprises partnered with Turbine-X Energy, a behind-the-meter gas-fired power infrastructure company, to develop and deploy power infrastructure for the AI data center market across the US. The companies signed a joint development agreement (JDA) envisioning the development and deployment of up to 2GWh of Eos storage systems across a defined project pipeline over the next 36 months, with initial deployments expected to commence in 2027. The BESS systems will be paired with simple-cycle natural gas turbine generation from Baker Hughes' NovaLT gas turbines, creating a fully engineerable power solution designed for constrained, high-load environments such as AI campuses. The power delivery will be all behind-the-meter, enabling faster power connections for data centers. Turbine-X specializes in gas-fired power solutions for the data center market using Baker Hughes' NovaLT turbines with capacities ranging from 5.5MW to 17.5MW, while Eos manufactures zinc-based energy storage systems with its Znyth storage system offering four to 16 hours of duration and a 25-year lifespan.
