The products are LFP batteries for ESS use that will be made at LG Energy Solution’s plant in Holland, Michigan. Deliveries are scheduled to roll out from 2028 through 2030 for Hanwha Qcells’ grid-scale ESS projects in the United States.
The deal is the companies’ second ESS agreement, following a 4.8GWh ESS project contract announced in May 2024.
The companies said they plan to pursue energy infrastructure projects in the United States that link batteries and solar modules, using their U.S. manufacturing bases.
LG Energy Solution’s batteries will be produced in Michigan, while Hanwha Qcells’ solar modules will be made in Georgia. The companies said the project will rely on U.S.-based production from batteries through solar modules.
Park Jae Hong, head of LG Energy Solution’s Vertech unit, said the company will strengthen cooperation with Hanwha Qcells by supporting the project end to end and continue a long-term partnership based on what he called differentiated value. He said the joint projects are expected to support customers’ long-term business success and help stabilize the U.S. power grid.
Chris Hodrick, head of Hanwha Qcells’ EPC business division, said the partnership gives Hanwha Qcells a foundation to respond effectively to large-scale ESS demand in the U.S. power market. He said the company plans to provide integrated energy solutions spanning solar and ESS and build a differentiated position in the global energy market.
