Company Overview Ore Energy is on a mission to fundamentally expand the amount of energy society can reliably use, helping move civilization toward a more abundant energy future. We are doing this by developing long-duration, utility-scale iron-air batteries that provide safe, low-cost, multi-day energy storage for electricity grids. Our technology is designed to enable renewable power to become a dependable source of energy at scale, supporting the transition to a cleaner, more resilient and more electrified world. Ore Energy has built significant momentum toward commercial deployment. The company has raised significant investment from leading European investors, demonstrated its technology under real-world utility conditions, and is now moving toward large-scale commercial deployments. Utilities, grid operators and renewable energy developers are at the heart of Ore Energy’s commercial strategy. As electricity grids carry more intermittent renewable generation, the need for long-duration storage to balance supply and demand across multiple days is becoming increasingly urgent. Our iron-air batteries are designed to address exactly this challenge. Additionally, they enable further integration of renewables, provide a congestion management tool, act as a critical gas peaker replacement and unlock new revenue streams through energy trading and ancillary services markets.
