LG Energy Solution Targets 2 GWh of ESS Supply With Energix
LG Energy Solution said on Oct. 27 it signed an MOU with Israel's Energix to aim at 2 GWh of storage over 24 months, 1.5 GWh in Europe and 0.5 GWh in North America, starting with about 320 MWh in Lithuania.

LG Energy Solution said on Oct. 27 it signed a memorandum of understanding with Israeli developer Energix to cooperate on storage projects in Europe and North America, with a target of 2 GWh of supply over the next 24 months.
The Elec said the 2 GWh splits into 1.5 GWh in Europe and 0.5 GWh in North America. A later 4.5 GWh step is only under consideration.

The Elec, reporting the company's statement, said the 2 GWh divides into 1.5 GWh in Europe and 0.5 GWh in North America. The companies are also considering a later expansion to 4.5 GWh through subsidiaries in Europe and the United States. The first project they named is Energix's Jonava development in Lithuania, with about 320 MWh of storage and a commercial-operation target of 2027. The Elec said the two companies previously worked together on the Nowe Czarnowo storage project in Poland in 2024.
A target in an MOU, not a cell purchase order
The filing is a memorandum, not an order for cells. The Elec describes the 2 GWh as the volume the companies aim to supply, and the 4.5 GWh figure as something they are considering. No chemistry, no price per kilowatt-hour and no firm volume beyond the Jonava description appear in the report. The Elec names Kang Chang-beom, senior vice president and head of LG Energy Solution's storage-battery business, and Energix chief executive Asa Levinger on the agreement.
For anyone planning grid batteries, 2 GWh over two years is a modest block beside single sites already measured in the hundreds of megawatt-hours. Jonava's roughly 320 MWh, if it is built on the 2027 target, is the only project in the announcement with both a place and a year. Samsung SDI's 1 GWh agreement with Alpha Omega Power, which Voltgrid reported on Oct. 26, is a separate U.S. supply deal and is not part of this memorandum.
What is still open
Energix develops and operates solar, wind and storage in Europe, North America and Israel. The Elec does not say who will own the batteries, which power market they will bid into, or whether the 2 GWh means cells only or a full container system. The possible step up to 4.5 GWh is not a commitment. No construction start for Jonava is given, only the 2027 commercial-operation target.
