    "excerpt": "According to a company release, the Michigan plant is aiming to reach more than 35 GWh of annual battery-making capacity at full-scale production. LG’s cells are integrated by its U.S. energy storage division, LG Energy Solution Vertech, for utility and other grid-scale storage applications. As U.S. power demand grows, LG-produced energy storage batteries at the Lansing plant will help area utilities like Detroit's DTE Energy store and dispatch energy more reliably across the grid. “Domestic battery production is foundational to America's energy future - reducing dependence on foreign adversaries, driving good-paying American jobs and advancing the American Energy Dominance Agenda,\" said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum in a statement . ESS developers with mature pipelines are rapidly securing supply agreements with domestic manufacturers. Over the next two to four years, research firm Wood Mackenzie reported that sourcing components free from Foreign Entities of Concern is emerging as a critical market bottleneck behind this manufacturing momentum in the U.S. Since 2022, LG has reportedly invested over $2 billion in the Lansing facility, with additional plans for a massive Arizona facility to begin manufacturing EV batteries later this year in the town of Queen Creek. The Queen Creek plant would cover more than 1.4 million square feet on a 109-acre site, according to...",
