Energy storage solutions provider Stryten Energy announced it would expand its American manufacturing capacity to 24 GWh. The company will increase production at 11 U.S. battery component plants, where batteries are produced for the military and grid storage markets.
“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 CEO 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.”
Stryten offers batteries in an array of chemistry choices, including lead, lithium and vanadium redox flow. The company has battery manufacturing sites in Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas and Virginia.
Stryten also has factories that make battery components — in Indiana, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The company will also invest in increasing its processing capacity of recycled plastic from spent batteries, to use in new battery components.
Stryten also recently opened a lithium battery assembly plant in Georgia that supports military and industrial battery needs with its proprietary lithium module technology. The company is partnering with Dragonfly Energy to bring advanced lithium batteries to its automotive aftermarket and battery distributor partners.
Stryten recently announced the launch of Storion Energy LLC by one of its affiliates, Stryten Critical E-Storage LLC, with a subsidiary of Largo and Largo Clean Energy Corp. Storion Energy is focused on removing the barriers to entry for battery manufacturers to domestically source price-competitive electrolytes used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) for long-duration energy storage applications in the United States.
