LG Energy Solution has inaugurated a new battery manufacturing plant in Lansing, Michigan, signaling a significant expansion of its production capacity in North America. The opening ceremony, held on Tuesday, was attended by state Governor Gretchen Whitmer, U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and other officials. This is the company's seventh production site in North America, where it will produce both lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for energy storage systems (ESS) and nickel-cobalt-manganese batteries for electric vehicles (EV).
LG Energy Solution aims to achieve an annual production capacity of over 35 gigawatt-hours from the site. With this latest facility, the company now operates five ESS production sites across North America, as growing demand fuels the use of batteries in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, power grids, and renewable energy projects. "Today marks a defining milestone for LG Energy Solution," the company stated.
