Overview
- Samsung SDI America signed a multi‑year agreement with an undisclosed U.S. energy company to supply prismatic ESS batteries worth about US$1 billion.
- Phased deliveries begin this year and continue through 2029.
- Batteries will be built at StarPlus Energy’s Indiana plant, a Samsung SDI–Stellantis joint venture that shifted part of its capacity from EV cells to ESS lines last year.
- The contract starts with NCA prismatic cells and later adds LFP, aligning with Samsung SDI’s push into the LFP segment.
- The agreement adds to the company’s recent U.S. wins, including a 2025 ESS contract exceeding ₩2 trillion and ongoing negotiations with additional customers.
