Samsung SDI's U.S. arm, Samsung SDI America, has entered into a 1-gigawatt-hour agreement with Alpha Omega Power, a U.S. utility-scale battery storage developer and independent power producer. This marks the second deal between the two companies, bringing their combined agreements to 1.5 gigawatt-hours, including an initial contract signed last year.
Alpha Omega Power intends to deploy these systems in large-scale power projects to enhance grid reliability and meet growing electricity demand. Construction of these projects will commence next year in markets within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council and Electric Reliability Council of Texas. As part of this latest agreement, Samsung SDI will provide its Samsung Battery Box 1.7, an integrated ESS powered by nickel-cobalt-aluminum batteries.
All components, including cells and modules, will be manufactured at StarPlus Energy's plant in Kokomo, Indiana, with deliveries set to conclude by the end of this year. The Samsung Battery Box 1.7 boasts a 17 percent higher energy density compared to its predecessor, the Samsung.
