LG Energy Solution (LG ES) will nearly double the production capacity of battery cells for energy storage systems (ESS) at its Michigan, US, factory by the end of 2026.

California community choice aggregator Ava Community Energy’s new BESS offtake agreements with EDP Renewables incorporate measures to share policy risks.

Two companies, First Phosphate and LG Energy Solution have recently begun manufacturing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells in North America.

US battery storage deployments could fall by 29% in 2026 due to ongoing policy uncertainty, according to Wood Mackenzie.

US Senators are expected to begin voting on the tax reconciliation bill today, with a draft published on Friday coming down hard on clean energy tax credits.

US tax credits for energy storage projects could be retained even if solar PV, wind and electric vehicle (EV) incentives face cuts.

Energy tax credits “drive innovation, strengthen our economy, and create real opportunity,” according to US Republican Senator John Curtis.

Even during times of turmoil for the US renewable energy industry, IPPs are continuing to secure long-term offtake agreements in California.
