Malta has developed a long-duration energy storage solution leveraging steam-based heat pump technology that offers a cost- and energy-efficient, flexible, and integration-ready solution to utility and industrial clients.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Malta Inc., a pioneer in long-duration energy storage, today announced it has raised $50M in a Series B round of funding. The financing was led by integrated energy group Proman with participation from new investor Dustin Moskovitz and existing investors Alfa Laval and Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
The Malta system is able to satisfy a daily or weekly load cycle by efficiently storing up to 200 hours of energy storage, though early systems will focus on current market applications in need of 10- to 12-hour durations.
David Cassidy, Chief Executive of Proman, Malta's lead investor, says, "There is an exponential global need for long-duration, low-cost energy storage solutions, and we are excited to work with the Malta team and our new partners to progress Malta's highly scalable and technically robust solution.
Malta SEMS (Steam Energy Management and Storage) seamlessly integrates with existing energy infrastructure or operates as a stand-alone system, delivering clean, reliable power and heat at scale. Designed to accelerate decarbonization, SEMS offers grid-scale synchronous long-duration storage with unmatched adaptability.
