Fluence Energy has officially started production at its new factory in Goodyear, Arizona, where it\u2019s now cranking out steel enclosures and battery management system (BMS) hardware for its grid-scale energy storage systems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This plant is part of the Washington, DC-headquartered global battery storage company\u2019s larger push to build and source every major part of its battery energy storage systems in the US. The company\u2019s domestic supply chain spans Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, and Utah, covering everything from battery cells and thermal systems to Fluence\u2019s inverter supplier in South Carolina. <\/p>\n

The partnerships represent around $700 million in investment and more than 1,200 manufacturing jobs in 2025 alone. Add another 450 construction jobs and growing, a significant economic spark.<\/p>\n

John Zahurancik, president of Fluence Americas, says the rapidly expanded domestic supply chain helps customers steer clear of global supply chain snarls while ensuring the company\u2019s systems stay safe, reliable, and cybersecure. \u201cEnclosure and BMS production at the Goodyear facility is another strong step forward in this commitment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The American Clean Power Association (ACP) recently unveiled the US energy storage industry\u2019s bold plan to invest $100 billion<\/a> into American-made grid batteries by 2030. The goal is to meet 100% of domestic energy storage demand using US-based supply chains and create 350,000 jobs in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cFluence is leading the way,\u201d said ACP CEO Jason Grumet. \u201cTheir investment in Arizona \u2013 a national leader in energy storage \u2013 underscores the momentum behind expanding US manufacturing, strengthening energy security, creating high-quality jobs, and supporting key suppliers, including American steel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fluence\u2019s products will also be critical in helping to keep the grid stable as the demand for power rapidly increases. The company already has more than 20,000 megawatt-hours of battery storage deployed or in the pipeline across 80+ projects in the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to fully onshore production, as quickly as possible,\u201d said Peter Williams, Fluence\u2019s chief product and supply chain officer. \u201cThis facility brings us closer to that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
