GE Energy Storage and Xtreme Power have formalised a strategic alliance to work together to provide energy storage solutions. The alliance combines GE’s Durathon battery technology for grid energy storage systems and Xtreme Power’s experience as an integrated energy storage turnkey solutions provider. GE claims that its Durathon battery products can last up to ten times linger than lead acid batteries and store more energy in half the space, and are the result of a $100 million investment in battery technology.

Prescott Logan, General Manager of GE Energy Storage, said: “Teaming up with Xtreme Power provides customers in the energy space access to turnkey solutions. Our combined team’s proven experience in integrating energy storage technologies with power conversions systems and the grid, as well as installing and operating multi-megawatt energy storage systems, will bring real life-cycle value to our customers.”

Alan Gotcher, President and CEO of Xtreme Power, said: “We’re honoured to be working with GE Energy Storage, and confident that together we’ll help deliver tomorrow’s energy technology to the world’s markets today. GE’s technology, matched with Xtreme Power’s XACT control platform and systems integration expertise, is a win for everyone concerned about efficient, cost effective energy storage.”
