Stryten Energy LLC, a U.S.-based provider of energy storage solutions, announced plans to expand its domestic manufacturing capacity by an additional 10 gigawatts, bringing the total to 24 gigawatts. This expansion aims to enhance the supply of batteries for various applications, including military, long-duration energy storage, transportation, and material handling.
The expansion effort will involve increasing production across Stryten Energy’s 11 manufacturing and battery component plants in the United States. Currently, over 2,500 employees work at these facilities, producing batteries used by military and government entities, data centers, grid storage systems, automotive industries, and material handling operations. The planned investment is supported by existing advanced manufacturing production tax credits, enabling the company to accelerate its capacity growth while bolstering the domestic industrial base.
“Stryten Energy is committed to growing its domestic energy storage capacity to serve the needs of our customers and partners in the United States,” said Mike Judd, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stryten Energy. “The path to American energy security can and must rely upon domestic companies like Stryten, who manufacture batteries that keep supply chains running and critical infrastructure supplied with the backup power required to keep their operations running smoothly. Our investments to significantly increase the gigawatt capacity across our footprint will help to support the growing energy demand and achieve our nation’s goal of true energy resilience.”
Stryten Energy emphasizes energy security, which entails continuous access to reliable power sources. To meet increasing power demands, the company is scaling up the production of various battery chemistries, including advanced lead, lithium, and vanadium redox flow batteries. The expansion includes facilities in Kansas, Georgia, Iowa, Virginia, and Arkansas, which are expected to create hundreds of high-paying manufacturing jobs and provide economic benefits to local communities.
The company operates a vertically integrated supply chain with plants in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin, ensuring a steady supply of critical materials for battery manufacturing. Additionally, the expansion plan includes increasing the capacity for processing recycled plastic from spent batteries. This recycled material is used to produce new battery components for applications such as automobiles, forklifts, and locomotives, contributing to a sustainable circular economy within the U.S. battery industry.
Recently, Stryten Energy opened a lithium battery assembly plant in Georgia to support military and industrial battery needs using its proprietary lithium module technology. The company is also partnering with Dragonfly Energy of Reno, Nevada, to introduce advanced lithium batteries to automotive aftermarket and battery distributor partners.
Furthermore, Stryten Energy launched Storion Energy LLC, a subsidiary focused on eliminating barriers for battery manufacturers to source competitively priced electrolytes for vanadium redox flow batteries used in long-duration energy storage applications in the U.S.
