SolarEdge Technologies has opened a 2GWh battery cell facility in South Korea to meet growing demand for battery storage.
The Gyeongsan Substation – Battery Energy Storage System is a 48,000kW lithium-ion battery energy storage project located in Jillyang-eup, North Gyeongsang, South Korea. The rated storage capacity of the project is 12,000kWh. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology.
South Korean battery maker Samsung SDI will likely build the country's first LFP battery plant in its Ulsan production base, according to local media reports. However, as CATL and other leading China-based battery companies launch their next-generation products, South Korean manufacturers have faced more challenges entering the LFP battery market.
Business Korea reported that industry and government sources said Samsung SDI is discussing with the Ulsan City Government a plan to produce LFP batteries in the area. The company will set up its first LFP battery factory in South Korea if the plan comes through.
