LG Energy Solution and Energix sign MoU to explore up to 4.5 GWh of battery storage supply in Europe and the U.S.
LG Energy Solution and Energix have signed a non-binding agreement to explore supplying about 2 GWh of battery energy storage systems in Europe and the U.S. over 24 months, with talks on raising that to 4.5 GWh.
- 2 GWh
- 4.5 GWh
- more than 8 GW
- 320 MWh
What Happened
LG Energy Solution announced on Oct. 27, 2026 that it signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Energix-Renewable Energies Ltd. to expand the companies' strategic collaboration on battery energy storage system projects in Europe and the U.S. Under the MoU, the two companies will explore the potential supply of approximately 1.5 GWh of BESS solutions in Europe and 0.5 GWh in the U.S. over the next 24 months, about 2 GWh in total. They will also discuss expanding the overall supply volume to approximately 4.5 GWh, comprising 3 GWh in Europe and 1.5 GWh in North America, through LG Energy Solution's operations in Europe and the U.S. Because the agreement is non-binding, no volumes are committed yet.
4.5 GWh
3 GWh in Europe and 1.5 GWh in North America, up from roughly 2 GWh initially explored over the next 24 months.
- About 1.5 GWh over 24 months, potentially 3 GWh
- About 0.5 GWh over 24 months, potentially 1.5 GWh
- About 2 GWh, potentially 4.5 GWh
The agreement builds on earlier collaboration in Europe: LG Energy Solution previously supplied battery solutions for Energix's Nowe Czarnowo project in Poland, and the two companies are also discussing potential collaboration on Energix's Jonava project in Lithuania. Energix develops, owns and operates renewable energy and energy storage projects and targets a global portfolio of more than 8 GW. The partners plan regular reviews to evaluate additional opportunities within Energix's renewable energy project pipeline. LG Energy Solution said the collaboration is expected to support integrating renewable generation with storage, enhancing grid flexibility and reliable clean-energy delivery in key markets, and to help it expand its ESS footprint in Europe after recent progress in North America on ESS projects linked to power grids and renewable energy.

Energix's Jonava hybrid renewable energy project in Lithuania, involving approximately 320 MWh of ESS capacity, is targeted to begin commercial operations; the two companies are discussing potential collaboration on it.
“Through our collaboration with Energix, we will expand ESS business opportunities in Europe and North America and further strengthen our global customer base. Leveraging our differentiated technology and local manufacturing capabilities, we will accelerate the growth of our global ESS business.”
“This agreement marks an important step in strengthening our long-term relationship with LG Energy Solution. We look forward to exploring opportunities to deploy high-quality energy storage solutions across our project pipeline and accelerate the expansion of renewable energy in our core markets.”
Previously from LG Energy Solution
LG Energy Solution has been building out its energy storage business in the months before this agreement. In September 2026 its battery energy storage system qualified under NVIDIA's DSX Ready program, giving the Korean battery maker a place in the power infrastructure that AI factories rely on, and the company also joined Hyundai and Kia on a Korean pilot that turns retired E-GMP battery packs into 200 kWh of storage feeding EV fast chargers.

Why this matters
LG Energy Solution expects the collaboration to support combining renewable generation with storage, improving grid flexibility and reliable clean-energy delivery in Europe and the U.S., and it builds on work already done in Poland and a planned project in Lithuania. It is only a non-binding MoU, so no volumes are guaranteed; if it converts, it would tie a Korean battery maker's BESS output to a developer targeting more than 8 GW of projects.
Terms in This Story
- MoU (memorandum of understanding)
- A written but usually non-binding agreement between two organizations stating that they intend to work together and will explore specific opportunities.
- BESS (battery energy storage system)
- A battery installation that stores electricity and releases it later, for example to balance supply and demand on an electricity grid.
- GWh (gigawatt-hour)
- A unit of energy equal to one billion watt-hours, commonly used to describe how much energy a battery system can store or deliver over time.
