Hydrostor, a global long duration energy storage (LDES) developer and operator, has announced the opening of their U.S. headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Hydrostor intends to hire 20 additional full-time employees based in the state before the end of 2024, growing its U.S. headquarters office to more than 30 people. The Denver office will serve as Hydrostor’s strategic hub in the U.S. as the company expands its pipeline of projects.
“We’re excited to call the Mile High City our U.S. headquarters,” said Tom Duckett, Hydrostor’s Chief Development Officer, headquartered in Denver. “This city has a great pool of talent, especially in the energy industry, and we’re excited to expand our strong U.S. presence to grow our project pipeline.”
Curtis VanWalleghem, Hydrostor CEO and Co-Founder, said “Denver is the ideal place for Hydrostor to plant our flag in the U.S., with its proximity to our late-stage Willow Rock project in California, and to our broader pipeline of U.S. projects in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, and New York.”
Hydrostor’s Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) technology has the capability to revolutionize the power grid, enabling emissions free electricity when renewable sources aren’t available, and bolstering the reliability of the electricity system when it is most needed.
Hydrostor plans to hire 20 more full-time employees based out of its Denver office by the end of the year, expanding the office to more than 30 full-time employees. Many of these hires will be engineers and construction and project experts on our Development and Technology teams to assist with the build-out of existing late-stage and pipeline projects.
