Pennsylvania’s Energy Sector Set for Major Boost with Eos Energy’s Relocation and Expansion
“Pennsylvania is positioning itself at the forefront of America’s energy transition — enabling us to bring America’s battery to scale.”
“Eos Energy’s expansion in Allegheny County is a testament to our region’s collaborative spirit and commitment to shared prosperity.”
“With this expansion, Eos is strengthening two of the key industries at the center of our Economic Development Strategy — energy and manufacturing.”
Governor Josh Shapiro and his Administration have competed for and won nearly $26 billion in private sector investments since taking office, creating more than 13,200 new jobs, and driving economic growth across Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg, PA – Pennsylvania is set to reinforce its status as a leader in clean energy with a significant announcement made by Governor Josh Shapiro. Eos Energy Enterprises, a leading manufacturer of American-made zinc-based battery storage systems, will relocate its headquarters from New Jersey to Pittsburgh and expand its manufacturing operations in Allegheny County. This $352.9 million investment is projected to create and retain a total of 1,000 jobs, including 735 new positions.
The Commonwealth will support this strategic move with a $22 million investment through grants and capital funding, further establishing Pennsylvania’s role as a hub for clean energy manufacturing. Since Governor Shapiro took office, Pennsylvania has been the only state in the Northeast with a growing economy, attracting close to $26 billion in private-sector investments and creating over 13,200 new jobs.
Eos’s new headquarters is slated to open in 2026 at Nova Place on Pittsburgh’s North Shore. Meanwhile, the company’s expanded 432,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Marshall Township will bolster large-scale battery production. This expansion will also foster collaborations with Carnegie Mellon University and other local institutions to advance energy technologies.
In a related development, Eos has partnered with Talen Energy Corporation to develop energy storage projects in Pennsylvania. Utilizing Eos’ Z3 zinc-based batteries and Talen’s existing generation assets, the partnership aims to create multiple gigawatt-hours (GWh) of storage capacity to enhance grid reliability and support the region’s clean energy transition.
Voices on Pennsylvania’s Economic Growth
Joe Mastrangelo, CEO of Eos Energy: “In today’s competitive environment, and in what we’re working to achieve in powering the nation’s future, you need not only natural resources and technology innovations, but also a strong public-private partnership. What we are announcing today is built upon a strong industrial history, combined with a world class university ecosystem. Pennsylvania is positioning itself at the forefront of America’s energy transition — enabling us to bring America’s battery to scale.”
DCED Secretary Rick Siger: “With this expansion, Eos is strengthening two of the key industries at the center of our Economic Development Strategy — energy and manufacturing. We are committed to positioning Pennsylvania as both an energy leader and an economic powerhouse and bold investments like this one will help us get there. This project will create and sustain 1,000 jobs while expanding opportunity for people across Western Pennsylvania.”
Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato: “Eos Energy’s expansion in Allegheny County is a testament to our region’s collaborative spirit and commitment to shared prosperity. This significant expansion ― made possible with critical support from the US Department of Energy, Governor Josh Shapiro, and a commitment of $2 million from Allegheny County — highlights the power of partnership in driving economic growth. Together, we are not only creating hundreds of jobs in Allegheny County but also laying the groundwork for a sustainable future in clean tech-led manufacturing and clean energy.”
Stefani Pashman, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development: “Eos Energy’s decision to expand its manufacturing operations in Allegheny County is a powerful testament to the value proposition this region offers at the nexus of energy, manufacturing, and innovation. Eos’ move will not only strengthen our region’s position as a hub for advanced energy storage, but it will also attract new suppliers, partners, and innovators to the Pittsburgh region. We’re especially proud that this growth comes with a continued commitment to the company’s partnerships with local universities and the United Steelworkers—ensuring that good, family-sustaining jobs remain at the center of this story. This expansion underscores what’s possible when business, labor, and community work together to build a more resilient and competitive regional economy.”
Bernie Hall, USW District 10 Director: “From day one, when we met with Joe and the Eos team, they talked about building an American-made company, doing right by the community, and providing good, family-sustaining jobs. We hear that from many employers, but Eos truly lives it — it’s part of their culture and DNA. We’re proud to stand with them for this exciting announcement and see them grow and create these opportunities. Pennsylvania is the only Northeast state with a growing economy, and with the rise of data centers nationwide, energy demand is surging. At the heart of this, union workers are helping build a more affordable, sustainable energy sector here in Pennsylvania. Last year, the workers at Eos Energy voted to join our union — a pivotal moment for workers — and we’re eager to be part of this expanding and vital part of Pennsylvania’s economy.”
Matt Smith, Chief Growth Officer of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development: “This is the living embodiment of the value proposition of Pittsburgh sitting at the nexus of energy, innovation and manufacturing. Companies from EOS to Google and Meta are sending their toughest problems to Pittsburgh to fix. This is a region that can host manufacturing in each and every county. We continue to be able to make things here.”
