LG Energy Solution Received an Order for KRW 2.4 Trillion Worth of “Batteries in the U.S.”

6GWh worth with DTE Energy Co. in the U.S.

LG Energy Solution Ltd. will supply batteries for the energy storage system (ESS) that will help power artificial intelligence (AI) data centers operated by Oracle Corp. in the United States. The company announced that it has signed a contract with DTE Energy Co., the largest energy company in the state of Michigan, to supply 6GWh worth of ESS batteries. Electricity capacity of 6GHw is a massive scale capable of storing enough electricity to power around 1.7 million households for one year. The contract is worth USD 1.6 billion (approximately KRW 2.4 trillion), with deliveries set to begin within the year and continue until next year.

DTE Energy is Michigan’s largest power provider and one of the major utility companies in the USA.
This contract is significant because it secures a major order in the ESS market for the rapidly growing numbers of U.S. data centers.
Currently, across the United States, AI technology-driven demand has accelerated data center construction. As the need for massive amounts of electricity equivalent to the power consumption of an entire city, increases, the demand for ESS to store this power is also surging.
