Energy storage technology provider Fluence is pursuing an IPO and has filed a Form S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
If successful, Fluence’s Class A common stock will list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol FLNC, while the number of shares and price range are yet to be determined.
The Arlington, Virginia-headquartered company officially launched in 2018 as a joint venture of German engineering company Siemens and US electric power company AES Corporation and released its sixth generation of battery storage system solution products last year.
Rapidly becoming a leader in the grid-scale storage space through combining the experience and product knowhow of the two companies’ existing energy storage businesses, Fluence claims to now have over 3.4GW of energy storage deployed or under contract in 29 different global markets.
