The newest offering from Electrovaya's Ellicott manufacturing facility has been announced.
The ElvaPulse 1,500 is a high-power energy storage platform for data center and other power applications that offers 3 megawatt hours of energy with up to 7 megawatts of continuous power for demanding data center, artificial intelligence infrastructure and other power applications. Initial deliveries are targeted to begin in the second quarter of 2027 from Electrovaya's Ellicott facility. The new development will support 48E Investment Tax Credit eligibility, a technology-neutral federal tax incentive providing a base credit of 6% or a boosted rate of 30% for zero-emission power generation and energy storage facilities. It was created by the Inflation Reduction Act and applies to property placed in service after December 31, 2024, replacing the older Section 48 energy credit
Electrovaya officials have discussed their plans to enter the battery energy storage system market in recent investor analyst conference calls, but it wasn't expected to happen this quickly. The International Energy Agency projects data center power demand fueled by the demands of artificial intelligence will more than double within the next four years. AI workloads draw power unevenly, with frequent, large surges that put facility uptime at risk. Meeting that challenge requires storage designed to deliver large bursts of power on demand.
ElvaPulse 1500 is the first product introduced under Electrovaya's new ElvaPulse stationary energy storage portfolio. The product leverages the proprietary ceramic separator design underpinning Electrovaya's Infinity Battery Technology, which has been validated across more than 30,000 battery systems operating in demanding industrial environments. The ElvaPulse family of energy storage products is being developed for applications where enhanced safety, rapid power delivery, frequent cycling and long operating life are essential, including AI and data center infrastructure, resilient microgrids, industrial power management, critical backup power, peak-demand management and renewable-energy firming.
Built around a modular 20-foot container and a 1500 VDC architecture, ElvaPulse 1500 provides up to 2.88 megawatt hours of nominal energy capacity and can be configured to deliver up to 7 megawatts of continuous power with industry leading cycle life. The unit's power-to-energy ratio allows ElvaPulse 1500 to discharge its full rated capacity in under 30 minutes -- less than the roughly 2- to 4-hour duration profile of most utility-scale lithium-ion BESS platforms on the market today. Electrovaya officials said that quick-use ability makes the ElvaPulse 1500 one of the highest power-density containerized stationary battery systems commercially available. That power density translates into a smaller site footprint and lower balance-of-system costs relative to lower-power-density alternatives.
"Data centers and other mission-critical facilities are pushing the energy storage industry toward higher and higher power delivery, and ElvaPulse 1500 was purpose-built to meet that need," said Raj DasGupta, chief executive officer of Electrovaya. "With up to 7 megawatts of continuous power from a single 20-foot container, ElvaPulse 1500 offers the highest power density available in a stationary lithium-ion platform today, while bringing the proven safety and longevity of our Infinity Battery Technology to these demanding applications. We designed this platform to give customers the flexibility to configure power, runtime and footprint around their specific requirements."
Electrovaya has initiated certification activities for ElvaPulse 1500 under UL 1973 and UL 9540, with completion currently targeted for the first quarter of 2027. The company is already in active discussions with hyperscale and energy developers on ElvaPulse deployments, and is accepting production reservations with initial deliveries targeted to begin in the second quarter of 2027 from Electrovaya's Jamestown manufacturing facility. The ElvaPulse platform is designed to support customer eligibility for the Section 48E Investment Tax Credit, including the domestic content bonus credit and compliance with Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) material assistance requirements under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, subject to project-specific structuring and each customer’s own tax position.
Electrovaya will showcase the ElvaPulse 1500 at three upcoming industry events: ACP RECHARGE: Energy Storage Conference, September 22-24 in Aurora, Colo.; Yotta 2026, Sept. 28-30 in Las Vegas, Nev.; and RE+ 26, Nov. 16-19 in Las Vegas, Nev.
