The company achieved a milestone by installing its first Intelligent Controller product at a utility substation in North Carolina, showcasing its technological capabilities.

2014

Launch of MESA Alliance  

1Energy Systems, alongside Snohomish PUD, Parker Hannifin, and LG Chem, announced the formation of the Modular Energy Storage Architecture (MESA) Alliance. This partnership aimed to develop the MESA-Device specification, enhancing collaboration within the industry.

2015

First MESA Energy Storage System Delivered  

Snohomish County PUD commissioned the first open-standards-based energy storage system, with 1Energy providing essential control software and system integration services.

 

The company introduced its Distributed Energy Resource Optimizer® (DERO®) product, designed to manage fleets of energy storage systems and distributed energy resources.

2016

Awards and the Formation of Doosan GridTech  

The U.S. Department of Energy recognized Austin Energy with a $4.3 million SHINES Award, naming 1Energy as the system integrator for the project.

GreenTech Media honors 1Energy as one of 20 companies “making change on the cutting edge of distributed energy and grid integration."

​​

Doosan Enerbility (then Doosan Heavy Industries) acquired 1Energy Systems, leading to the creation of Doosan GridTech. This new subsidiary specializes in technology solutions for the digital distributed electric grid.

2017

Major Project with LADWP

Doosan GridTech was selected by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to deliver a 20MW/10MWh energy storage system, demonstrating its ability to meet stringent system requirements with high availability.

2018

Recognition for Integrated Solutions  

In collaboration with Austin Energy, Doosan GridTech won the Grid Edge Innovation Award for their work on the Austin SHINES solar and storage project.

Additionally, Consumers Energy chose Doosan GridTech for its innovative battery energy storage system, further establishing its role in enhancing circuit reliability.

2019

Advancements in Solar and Storage

For joint efforts in realizing the LADWP's first utility-scale BESS at its Beacon Solar Plant, the municipal utility and Doosan GridTech were presented with the "Energy Storage Project of the Year" award at the Global Solar and Energy Storage conference in Seoul, Korea. The award honors foresight in and dedication to energy transformation as well as singular achievements in technological advancement, creative design, and technically sound deployment of energy storage systems.

2020

Expansion into Australia

Vena Energy selected Doosan GridTech to deploy Queensland's largest grid-scale energy storage system, boasting a 100MW/150MWh capacity. This project affirmed Doosan GridTech's position as a leader in energy storage solutions.
