As major players increasingly invest in stationary energy storage to stabilize power grids and support renewable integration, a significant new deal is set to reshape the supply chain. Tesla has reportedly tapped LG Energy Solution (LGES) for a massive supply of US-made batteries, signaling a strategic push to bolster its energy division.
According to reports from The Korean Herald, the deal is valued at $4.3 billion and will see LGES supply LFP batteries from August 2027 through July 2030.
