LG Energy Solution Vertech announced a supply agreement with DTE Energy for battery storage systems in Michigan. The agreement covers eight projects with a total capacity of one and a half gigawatts and a storage capacity of six gigawatt-hours. The systems are scheduled to be delivered within two years.
Battery cells made in North America
LG Energy Solution plans to assemble the systems using battery cells produced in Michigan, as well as in other facilities in the United States and Canada. DTE Energy cites the agreement in connection with the growing demand for electricity driven by new data centers. For example, DTE mentions the approved contract for an Oracle data center in Saline Township. These battery storage systems, financed by Oracle, are expected to meet the company’s share of Michigan’s Clean Energy Standard for battery storage by 2030.
