Peak Energy

Peak was glad to welcome TDK Ventures leadership to the ESS Engineering Center for a firsthand look at how we build our passively cooled sodium-ion energy storage systems.     The team toured our production line and saw Peak’s approach in action: a fundamentally simpler system architecture designed to lower the cost of stored energy and deliver more reliable storage at grid scale.    Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dFwgfZce

Data centers are racing to connect to the grid faster than the grid has ever had to accommodate, creating new challenges around interconnection timelines, electricity costs, emissions, and how we build enough infrastructure to support that growth. The right energy infrastructure can help operators get to power faster, use that power more efficiently, and build in a way communities can support. On the latest episode of IONS, Peak Co-Founder & CCO Cameron Dales sits down with Adrian Yao to talk about the rise of physical AI, the power challenge behind it, and what the next generation of energy storage needs to look like to support it.

NEW EPISODE of the IONS podcast! 🎧 https://lnkd.in/gn9d9vtr Ep. 10 - Technological Pragmatism: A Conversation with Adrian Yao of EnPower, Inc. and STEER at Stanford University There's no better time to build. Cam and Adrian have been in the battery space for years, and their conversation is informed by decades of experience as they track the industry's shifting focus from material development to project economics. For the first time, Cam and Adrian also discuss STEER's landmark studies of sodium-ion cell cost-down curves, breaking down STEER's initial pessimism on sodium-ion cell economics against the movement of both industry upstarts and giants into project deployment with sodium-ion tech. 🎧 Now live on Apple Podcasts and Spotify 🎧

The Wall Street Journal's latest feature on Peak explores one of the most important transitions underway in energy today. As electricity demand continues to accelerate, the next generation of energy infrastructure will require a fundamentally different approach to grid-scale storage. Peak is building and deploying that future today. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gc-x7TG4

"Grid scale batteries are the number one asset class in all of energy. We should rely on the technology of the battery chemistry itself to allow the lowest cost, most reliable and safest systems out there as we deploy these at scale," said Peak President and Co-founder Cameron Dales during the 2026 Women in Batteries (Volta Foundation) Conference last week.     As part of the conference, more than 150 engineers, researchers, manufacturers, and industry leaders gathered at Peak's ESS Engineering Center for a firsthand look at how the next generation of American energy infrastructure is being built today.     Join us ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eW3ZGy8u

Today, we're excited to welcome Paul D. Menson as Vice President of Sales at Peak Energy. Paul joins Peak from General Motors, where he helped develop and lead the company's stationary energy storage strategy. Prior to GM, he was a U.S. grid-scale energy storage sales leader at Tesla and previously held commercial leadership roles at Siemens and Siemens Energy. As Peak scales commercial deployment of its passively cooled sodium-ion energy storage platform, Paul will drive Peak’s global sales organization. “The market is navigating a generational, if not historic, challenge. The world needs energy storage that's durable, cost-effective, and safe at scale – and that's exactly what Peak is building," said Menson. "I'm excited to join Peak during this pivotal phase of growth following its partnership with GM and domestic giga-scale factory announcement. I look forward to working with the team at Peak to help scale the company's global reach, and to work with customers and partners to meet the extraordinary needs of the moment.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gNdadMFY

This week, Peak welcomed more than 150 attendees to its ESS Engineering Center in California to kick off the 2026 Women in Batteries Conference with the Volta Foundation. Bringing together engineers, researchers, manufacturers, and industry leaders from across the energy ecosystem, attendees toured our ESS manufacturing line and got an inside look at Peak's novel approach to system manufacturing. We're proud to partner with the Volta Foundation in supporting Women in Batteries (Volta Foundation) and fostering the talent that will build the future of energy. A special thanks to our tour leaders from Peak's engineering and technician teams, who gave attendees a firsthand look at the work behind our systems: Andrea G., Karen H., Adriana Raffin, Jessica Sui, Kevin LeLaurin, Diana Sacks, Katie Schutt, and Kate Mason.

Thermal management is one of the largest remaining sources of cost, complexity, and operational risk in grid-scale storage. Peak set out to eliminate the need for active thermal management entirely. On July 30, Peak Chief Scientist Brandon Kelly joins Enertis Applus+ to talk about what grid-scale energy storage systems look like when active thermal management is no longer part of the equation, and why thermally passive architecture is where the industry is headed.
