Equinor acquires U.S. battery storage developer

Equinor has acquired U.S. battery energy storage developer East Point Energy, the companies announced.

The privately-owned East Point is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia and has a 4.1 GW current pipeline of early to mid-stage battery storage projects focused on the US East Coast. Equinor signed an agreement to buy a 100% stake in the company.
