A new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, has officially begun production of thermal management systems, including HVAC and chiller equipment, dedicated to grid-scale battery energy storage solutions.
The facility marks a significant step in advancing U.S.-based supply chain resilience for the fast-growing energy storage sector. By producing critical components domestically, the initiative reduces exposure to international trade fluctuations and supports national energy security.
Industry leaders emphasized the importance of such investments, noting that onshoring key elements of the supply chain enables greater reliability, cost efficiency, and stability in delivering advanced energy solutions. The Houston site plays a central role in the broader strategy to localize production of every major component required for battery energy storage systems within the United States.
The expansion adds to a network of five U.S.-based manufacturing facilities producing equipment such as battery cells, modules, inverters, and enclosures. Collectively, these efforts are expected to support more than 1,200 manufacturing jobs in 2025.
Stakeholders highlighted that domestic battery energy storage production is becoming increasingly critical to meeting rising electricity demand, maintaining grid reliability, and lowering energy costs for millions of Americans.
With more than 22,000 MWh of battery energy storage capacity already deployed or contracted across more than 90 projects nationwide, the sector continues to play a pivotal role in modernizing the power grid and ensuring long-term supply chain resilience.
