The Future of Grid-Scale Energy Storage Starts Here
Repowering America's Grid with Clean, Long-Duration Energy Storage. America's electric grid is approaching a critical inflection point with electricity demand projected to surge over 30% while aging peaker plants retire.
More than energy storage
"This is the comprehensive modernization of America's existing power infrastructure—creating resilient, long-duration assets right where the grid needs them most."

Repowering America's Grid with Clean, Long-Duration Energy Storage. America's electric grid is approaching a critical inflection point with electricity demand projected to surge over 30% while aging peaker plants retire.
Proprietary High-Efficiency LAES
Commercial turbomachinery reaching up to 86% RTE with zero battery supply risk.
Energy Arbitrage Economics
LAES uses cheap, off-peak power to liquefy air—storing power to sell at high, peak-power prices.
Peaker Plant Repowering
Bypasses long 5-7 year interconnection queues by using active grid nodes.
Capital-Efficient Revenue
High-margin licensing, engineering fees & long-term ongoing royalties.
A Multi-Billion Dollar Infrastructure Opportunity
The United States operates approximately 1,110 peaker power plants, many located in densely populated urban centers where new power generation projects face lengthy permitting and interconnection delays.
Bypass Interconnection Queues
New grid projects face 5+ year wait times. CES repurposes existing peaker plant sites to leverage existing interconnection rights and urban grid footprints immediately.
Dramatically Reduced Risk
Rather than relying on volatile lithium supply chains or unproven chemistries, LAES utilizes off-the-shelf industrial gas turbomachinery built to last 30+ years.
Modernizing Legacy Grid
Repowering fossil-fuel peakers with zero-emission long-duration storage allows utilities to retain valuable assets while meeting stringent clean energy mandates.
Why CES Energy Storage?
Unlike conventional lithium battery systems, CES utilizes Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) technology built upon commercially proven industrial gas equipment—achieving unmatched efficiency and multi-decade longevity.
LAES uses cheap, off-peak power to liquefy ambient air at -196°C, storing power to sell at high, peak-power prices when grid demand and electricity rates spike—capturing substantial price spreads with zero emissions.
LAES vs. Lithium-Ion Comparison
Why infrastructure investors favor Liquid Air Energy Storage for grid duration.
| Metric | CES LAES | Lithium-Ion |
|---|---|---|
| Round-Trip Efficiency | Up to 86% RTE | 80 - 88% (Degrades) |
| Energy Arbitrage Spread | Optimal (8-24 hr shifts) | Limited (2-4 hrs only) |
| Storage Duration | 8 - 24+ Hours | 2 - 4 Hours |
| Asset Lifespan | 30+ Years (No Degradation) | 8 - 10 Years (Degrades) |
| Fire Risk / Safety | Zero Fire Hazard | Thermal Runaway Risk |
| Supply Chain | Standard Turbomachinery | Constrained Critical Minerals |

Repowering Impact Calculator
Estimate the long-duration energy storage capacity, energy arbitrage value, and emissions reduction achieved by repurposing an existing fossil-fuel peaker plant site.
Energy Arbitrage Value: Buying off-peak power to liquefy air and discharging during peak rates delivers substantial LCOS advantage.
Positioned at the Intersection of Energy Transition & Grid Modernization
Powerful macroeconomic trends and peak-to-off-peak pricing spreads are creating unprecedented demand for long-duration energy storage across North America.
30%+ Electricity Demand Growth: Driven by AI data centers, manufacturing reshoring, and EV adoption over the next decade.
Retiring Capacity: Thousands of megawatts of aging thermal peaker generation are nearing mandated retirement dates.
Strategic Assets: Legacy peaker plants occupy prime urban nodes with existing high-voltage transmission access.
Federal Tailwinds & Arbitrage: Clean energy incentives and widening peak electricity spreads accelerate non-lithium long-duration tech.
