Recently, US BESS companies Energy Vault and Goshe, SMT Energy and Climate Adaptive Infrastructure, and NeoVolta and SK On have made major deals and secured strategic partnerships.
South Korean battery manufacturer SK On’s US production facilities will supply NeoVolta Power with 9GWh of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pouch cells under a five-year deal.
Shifting dynamics in the US’ BESS industry could mean that Chinese batteries are not even needed within the foreseeable future, a local consultant told Energy-Storage.news.
Three companies, Ultion Technologies, Ultium Cells and SK On have recently announced plans to begin manufacturing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells in the US.
