Samsung SDI locked a 1 GWh ESS deal with Alpha Omega Power, lifting combined contracts to 1.5 GWh, with cells from its Kokomo, Indiana plant and deliveries by year-end. The pitch is explicit: US-made

What happened: Samsung SDI secured a 1 GWh energy storage system supply deal with US power developer Alpha Omega Power through its Michigan-based subsidiary, following an initial deal last year. Key numbers: Combined contracts total 1.5 GWh. Deliveries are scheduled by year-end. Why it matters: AOP's CEO said the second agreement strengthens its domestic supply chain. Samsung SDI is positioning its locally made prismatic batteries as an alternative to Chinese suppliers as it seeks more North American ESS contracts.
