Fluence Opens Arizona Facility Expanding US Energy Storage Manufacturing

Fluence Energy has commenced production at a new manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Arizona, which will produce enclosures made with U.S. steel and battery management system hardware for its grid-scale energy storage systems. This facility is part of Fluence's broader strategy to fully onshore the production of major components for energy storage systems to serve U.S. demand with domestically manufactured products. The company is expanding its domestic manufacturing footprint across multiple states including Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, Utah, and South Carolina, with investments totaling approximately $700 million and creating over 1,200 manufacturing jobs plus 450 construction jobs expected in 2025. Fluence’s efforts align with the American Clean Power Association’s commitment to invest $100 billion by 2030 to build and buy American-made grid batteries, aiming to supply 100% of the U.S. energy storage market with domestic manufacturing and generate 350,000 industry jobs. Executives from Fluence emphasize that increasing U.S. production enhances energy security, reduces global supply chain risks, and ensures delivery of safe, reliable, and cybersecure energy storage solutions at scale. This move also reflects a broader industry trend motivated by past supply chain disruptions and supported by government incentives to boost domestic manufacturing.
