According to Wechat Official Account @EnergyStorage001, recently, U.S.-based Stryten Energy announced the expansion of its battery production capacity to 24GWh across the U.S. This strategic layout covers key areas such as military and grid energy storage.
According to the plan, Stryten Energy intends to comprehensively upgrade the production capacity of its 11 battery assembly plants located in Arkansas, Georgia and other places, and will lay out multi-technology routes, including lead-acid, lithium-ion, and all-vanadium liquid current batteries in order to satisfy the differentiated needs of the military in terms of high-reliability and long-duration energy storage on the grid.
It is also investing in recycled plastic technology for used batteries and using recycled materials for new battery production.
Recently, its new lithium battery assembly plant in Georgia has gone into production, utilizing patented lithium module technology to focus on the military and industrial battery market.
Stryten Energy's capacity expansion plans are in line with the U.S. government's policy of supporting local supply chains and clean energy. Currently, the U.S. energy storage industry is facing multiple challenges, and given the policy and market situation, Ravi Manghani, Senior Director of Strategic Sourcing at Anza Renewables, said local sourcing is still the least risky option at this stage.
We have observed an acceleration in local energy storage manufacturing, he said. Some manufacturers have always focused on energy storage, while companies that have traditionally focused on the electric vehicle market have begun to shift to energy storage as the growth rate of electric vehicles has fallen short of expectations.
With growing demand for energy storage and favorable market conditions, battery manufacturers are aggressively expanding their customer base, which is directly contributing to planning announcements for more local manufacturing facilities.
Through technology partnerships and vertical integration, Stryten Energy has shown that it is also aiming to gradually eliminate its dependence on key materials to support the autonomous development of the U.S. energy storage industry.
