LG Energy Solution recently inaugurated its expanded $1.4 billion lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery plant in Holland, Michigan, the first of its kind in the U.S. This facility will focus on energy storage systems (ESS), which can facilitate electric vehicle (EV) charging, power homes, and bolster grid stability. The expansion indicates a shift towards local LFP technology production, which is essential for affordable EVs and the integration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
"Traditionally, large-scale energy storage is not always easy. We depended on hills with a lake for hydro applications or large spaces for compressed air...We have a solution: We can provide energy storage in any location where the energy is being used."
"The $1.4 billion plant expansion will produce batteries for energy storage systems (ESS), but signals a broader shift of LFP tech returning to the U.S. in one form or another."
