Newport Beach, CA, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bimergen Energy Corporation (NYSE American: BESS, BESS.WS), a U.S.-based independent power producer specializing in utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), today announced that its Redbird project, a 100 MW / 400 MWh battery energy storage system located in Texas, has been formally approved for participation under its Joint Development Agreement (JDA) and that the Company has selected Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: EOSE) Z3 zinc-based battery technology for the project.
Participation under the Joint Development Agreement marks a significant advancement in Redbird's development and authorizes the project to move forward with structured, milestone-based capital deployment.

As Texas continues to experience rapid load growth driven by economic expansion, population growth, data center development, and electrification trends, projects like Redbird represent essential infrastructure to maintain system stability.
"Redbird's participation under our Joint Development Agreement, combined with the selection of Eos' Z3 technology, represents a defining step forward for Bimergen," said Cole Johnson, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Bimergen Energy. "This project reflects our disciplined development approach and our commitment to deploying safe, reliable, multi-hour storage solutions that directly address Texas' accelerating power demand."
