LG Energy Solution plant in Poland
LGES will supply lithium iron phosphate batteries for the 1-gigawatt-hour ESS facility set to start operations in 2027 by Poland's state-run utility firm Polska Grupa Energetyczna, the company said in a press release.
The LFP batteries will be produced at LGES' plant in Poland's southwestern city of Wroclaw, it said.
The company expects the latest deal will help it obtain further ESS battery deals in Europe.
To ride out a slowdown in all-electric car sales, LGES has changed some of the battery production lines in the Wroclaw plant for the production of ESS batteries, for which demand is on the rise.
The company has production facilities in South Korea, Poland, Indonesia and North America.
