SES AI (NYSE: SES) has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AISPEX, a Texas-based Retail Energy Provider, to provide Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) solutions. The partnership includes SES's proprietary AI for Safety Battery Management System for monitoring battery health and safety.

The MOU outlines a potential purchase order pipeline of up to $45 million and up to 100 MWh. The first deployment, scheduled for 2025, involves a project of up to 30 MWh valued at up to $13 million, to be implemented in two phases at a crypto mining site in Texas.

According to SES AI CEO Qichao Hu, the energy storage market, particularly in crypto mining and data centers, represents a total addressable market more than 10 times larger than the EV sector. The company aims to leverage its capabilities in materials discovery and superintelligent battery management through AI to extend BESS life and improve safety.

SES AI (NYSE: SES) has secured a significant purchase order from Data Blanket for AI-enhanced Li-Metal and Li-ion batteries to power AI-driven drones for forest fire management and border patrol applications. The initial shipments were delivered in December 2024, with the remaining deliveries expected by mid-2025.

The batteries offer higher energy density and power compared to conventional Li-ion batteries, enabling longer drone flight times. Data Blanket's drones provide rapid, firsthand data and images to firefighters, enhancing their operational capabilities. The company plans to expand the use of SES systems across its growing product line, leveraging SES's Li-Metal technology and AI-enabled management and safety systems for operations in harsh environments.

SES AI (NYSE: SES) has secured contracts worth up to $10 million with two major global OEM partners to develop AI-enhanced battery solutions. The contracts focus on applying AI for Science to develop new electrolyte materials for both Li-Metal and Li-ion batteries for automotive applications.

The revenue from these contracts will be partially recognized in Q4 2024, with the remaining portion expected through H1 2025. This development follows SES AI's recent breakthrough in creating the world's first battery using an AI-discovered electrolyte material for drones and robotics applications.

The new contracts will apply AI-discovered electrolytes for Li-Metal B-sample developments and, for the first time, with mature Li-ion batteries already in commercial use.

SES AI (NYSE: SES), a leader in AI-enhanced Li-Metal and Li-ion battery development, has announced that Founder and CEO Dr. Qichao Hu will participate in a Water Tower Research Fireside Chat on January 15, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
