Viridi's FEOC Compliance Marks a Milestone for U.S. Energy Security

Viridi's Commitment to Energy Security

Viridi, a leading innovator in battery energy storage systems (BESS), has announced a significant achievement—its products now meet the current requirements set forth by the Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC). This compliance is part of the broader One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and aligns with various clean energy tax credits. With this development, Viridi has positioned itself among a select group of American-made energy storage providers eligible for federal incentives, thus enhancing the resilience of the national clean energy supply chain.

Manufactured in Buffalo, New York, Viridi's state-of-the-art fail-safe lithium-ion battery systems boast advanced anti-propagation technology. This innovation addresses one of the major risks associated with energy storage: thermal runaway. By preventing the propagation of thermal runaway between cells, Viridi’s batteries set a new standard for safety, particularly in commercial-scale applications. These systems are designed for installation in indoor environments, including existing, occupied structures—something traditional lithium-ion setups often cannot achieve safely.

In addition to safety, Viridi's products adhere to the Material Assistance Cost Ratio (MACR) threshold of 75% set for 2030 and beyond, which enables users to benefit fully from investment tax credits (ITC). Jon M. Williams, the CEO of Viridi, emphasized the importance of safety and compliance, stating, “Our customers want safe, proven energy storage they can deploy today—without waiting for supply chains to catch up or worrying about compliance risks.” This adherence to compliance and domestic sourcing reflects Viridi's commitment to providing zero-emissions energy that developers, building owners, and operators of critical infrastructure can rely on.

The steps taken by Viridi to guarantee compliance involve a robust domestic manufacturing strategy, stringent vetting of suppliers, ownership verification, and thorough certification processes. Williams further explained that compliance is not merely a regulatory checkbox but is indicative of disciplined supply chain management and a strategic focus on U.S.-based manufacturing.

What sets Viridi apart is its ability to ensure swift deployment of clean energy projects without bottlenecks. The company keeps units in stock, ready to ship, thus removing the potential slowdowns often associated with clean energy initiatives. This capability is pivotal for numerous applications, from powering microgrids and critical infrastructure to supporting mobile operations and commercial facilities.

In conclusion, Viridi is not just enhancing energy storage; it is redefining safety and compliance standards within the industry. By embedding FEOC compliance into operations and maintaining a domestic focus, Viridi is eliminating uncertainty for its users. They are paving the way for a safer, scalable, and more sustainable energy future across the U.S.
