Invinity Enhances U.S. Commercial Presence

Senior business development appointment builds upon strong commercial traction
to further support Invinity's U.S. market strategy

 

Invinity Energy Systems plc (AIM: IES), a leading global manufacturer of
utility-grade energy storage, is pleased to announce the enhancement of its
global Business Development team with the appointment of Shane McBee to the
role of Vice President, Business Development.

 

Shane brings significant experience to Invinity, gained through a 30+ year
career which has included senior business development positions in the energy
storage, chemical and engineering industries. He joins Invinity from U.S.
energy storage business, Eos Energy Enterprises Inc., where he was Vice
President, Strategic Corporate Accounts. Shane holds a Bachelor of Science in
Chemistry and Biochemical Engineering from The Citadel, the Military College
of South Carolina, as well as an MBA from the University of Miami.

 

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Shane enhances Invinity's global business
development team with a primary focus on rapidly advancing the Company's
commercial opportunities in the U.S. as well as globally. This senior hire
represents a further advancement of Invinity's capabilities in the U.S.,
positioning the Company to capitalise on one of the world's largest and
fastest growing markets for energy storage.

 

Invinity continues to gain commercial traction within the U.S., driven by a
growing number of operating projects across the country. Most recently, in
late December 2025, Invinity announced a 12 MWh order from Pacific Northwest
National Labs ("PNNL")
(https://irtools.co.uk/88/story/6e302e5d-c1f8-4ae1-9a3a-f7e433fdd814) which
followed a visit from U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright
(https://irtools.co.uk/88/story/7451594c-02cb-4cbf-b367-3532c34475e1) , who
operated an existing Invinity battery system installed at PNNL's Grid Storage
Launchpad facility. The Company also announced the successful commissioning of
a number of key U.S. projects including the 10 MWh vanadium flow battery
system at the Viejas Resort and Casino (https://invinity.com/viejas-microgid/)
and the 4 MWh system for EDF Renewables North America subsidiary, Powerflex
(https://invinity.com/4-mwh-sale-powerflex-edf-north-america-california-pv/) ,
both in Southern California.

 

Invinity remains on track to establish a U.S. manufacturing facility later
this year to complement its existing service facility in Vista, California.
This U.S. manufacturing capability is being implemented in part to meet the
domestic content and sourcing requirements required by customers who purchase
Endurium for U.S. projects expecting to qualify for the enhanced Investment
Tax Credit ("ITC"), while also allowing Invinity to benefit from manufacturing
Production Tax Credits ("PTC"). Together, these benefits mean projects using
Endurium can access materially improved project economics through higher
after-tax returns, while our manufacturing operations benefit from
predictable, long-term support for domestic clean-energy supply chains.
Importantly, the facility is expected to be fully compliant with Foreign
Entity of Concern ("FEOC") rules, giving customers, financiers and partners
confidence that projects are insulated from regulatory risk and future policy
tightening. Together, this delivers lower cost of ownership for customers,
stronger bankability for projects, and a scalable, compliant platform for
long-duration energy storage deployment across the U.S. market.

 

Further information on Invinity's activities in the U.S. can be found on the
Company's website (https://invinity.com/usa/) .

 

 

Shane McBee, Vice President, Business Development at Invinity said:

 

"I am incredibly excited to join the Invinity team at this pivotal moment for
the energy storage industry. Across the U.S., utilities, regulators and
developers are moving quickly to secure reliable, high-throughput energy
storage that can scale to support the rapid load growth seen particularly
within the datacentre segment. The market is increasingly seeking an annuity
versus a disposable asset - prioritizing proven technologies that deliver
predictable performance and a 30+ year asset life without thermal runaway
risk.

 

"I joined Invinity because I believe we are uniquely positioned to provide the
mission-critical power infrastructure that not only hyperscalers, but the U.S.
market as a whole require as we move into the next stage of the Age of
Electrification"

 

 

Matt Harper, President at Invinity said:

 

"We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Shane to Invinity. His deep sector
expertise and long track record in one of the world's fastest‑growing energy
storage markets make him an exceptional addition to our team. The U.S. market
represents a major growth trajectory for the Company, and Shane's leadership
gives us a powerful platform to build on the strong network of projects and
partners we've already established. As we move toward launching U.S.
manufacturing, his arrival further strengthens the foundation for the next
stage of Invinity's expansion."
