In the third quarter of 2026, LG Energy Solution experienced a significant surge in profitability, with revenue rising by 59% to 9 trillion 643.4 billion won ($7.11 billion) and operating profit increasing by 567.3% to 756.0 billion won ($557.2 million). The company's strong performance was driven by growth in energy storage systems (ESS) and cylindrical batteries.
Notably, LG signed its first battery energy storage system supply contract with a major tech firm and became Nvidia's DSX Ready BESS partner in the AI data center market. The company also secured a new supply contract for high-voltage mid-nickel products aimed at the European market. Additional local production operations were launched in North America, and LG strengthened its supply chain security stance in the United States and Europe.
The company plans to expand its ESS production capacity in North America and begin local production of the 46-series in Poland by 2029. LG is also accelerating efforts to secure raw materials and establish a stable supply chain, while outlining a roadmap for maintaining technological competitiveness.
