LG Energy Solution participated in the 'Interbattery Europe 2025' held in Munich, Germany, earlier this month, presenting its blueprint for energy storage systems (ESS). At this event, attended by over 100,000 visitors, LG Energy Solution showcased its unrivaled technological leadership in the ESS field and its broad product portfolio. In particular, it highlighted its local production capabilities in the European market, ESS-related technologies, and a wide range of products.
At this exhibition, LG Energy Solution introduced a range of ESS solutions targeting the European energy market. The company showcased its 20-foot (ft) container-type ESS based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells. This model is equipped with a stacked structure and efficient cooling system, maximizing energy density and stability. Additionally, it features the latest ESS-specific LFP cells produced at the Poland factory to extend its lifespan.
LG Energy Solution also unveiled a high-output UPS battery system aimed at data centers, driven by the expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. It is characterized by high energy density and high-output performance, enhancing space efficiency and maximizing backup power. Furthermore, the system provides pre-assembled, independently operable power supply units for ease of installation and increased operational stability.
In addition, LG Energy Solution unveiled the pilot version of a battery passport system in proactive response to the European Union's battery regulation (EUBR). Based on the experiences gained from developing the pilot version showcased at this exhibition, LG Energy Solution plans to develop and operate its own battery regulation management (Battery Regulation Management·BRM) system.
Recently, LG Energy Solution has secured a series of large-scale ESS contracts in the global market. In March, the company announced through a public disclosure that it had signed a strategic partnership with U.S. Delta Electronics to supply a total of 4 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of residential ESS over five years.
LG Energy Solution's U.S. subsidiary, 'LG Energy Solution Verttec,' which launched after acquiring the American ESS system integrator NEC Energy Solutions in February 2022, secured a supply contract for up to 8 GWh of ESS with U.S. renewable energy company Terra-Gen from 2026 to 2030. This represents the largest scale of a single contract since the establishment of LG Energy Solution Verttec.
It has also achieved significant orders in the European region. In March, LG Energy Solution was selected as the business partner for a large-scale ESS project promoted by the Polish state-owned power company PGE, securing a supply contract for LFP batteries for approximately 1 GWh of ESS.
The background of LG Energy Solution's consecutive successes in ESS contracts is attributed to the effective 'rebalancing strategy' of its existing battery production plants. The company is rapidly expanding its local production capacity by converting some lines of its existing factories into ESS production lines.
A representative example is LG Energy Solution's conversion of its American standalone factory. Earlier, during the announcement of the first-quarter results this year, LG Energy Solution stated that instead of halting the construction of the Arizona ESS plant, it would utilize the Michigan standalone factory as an ESS production base. Production is set to begin at this plant in the second quarter of this year, which will allow the company to accelerate local ESS battery production in North America by one year ahead of schedule.
The factory in Wrocław, Europe, is also undergoing a conversion of some EV production lines to ESS and plans to start producing ESS batteries from the end of this year. A representative from LG Energy Solution noted, "We expect to ensure stable supply and efficient customer responses locally."
