Today’s Technology for Today’s Storage Needs

Harness operational, economic, and resilience value – for a wide range of grid, industrial and commercial applications.

Frequency Regulation

Rapidly absorbs or releases power, helping to maintain grid frequency stability.

Voltage Support

Supports power quality and helps to mitigate grid voltage fluctuations.

Rate Arbitrage

Charges the system when electricity prices are lower, for use when prices are higher.

Peak Load Shifting

Stores energy during lower-demand periods to be deployed later, when demand and pricing rise.

Demand Response

Adjusts charge and discharge cycles in response to peak-demand events.

Backup Power and Microgrids

Enhances reliability with features including backup power, black start strategies, congestion management, and microgrids.

Why LFP Prismatic Technology?

Stationary storage customers need thermal stability, long service life, and predictable operating economics. Now, they can get it from a chemistry platform proven across large-scale deployments around the world. LFP prismatic technology is well suited to the 2- to 4-hour storage market. It’s a technology option backed by thousands of projects – not an unproven concept.

Predictable operating economics

Why Ford Energy?

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford, we bring proven LFP prismatic technology with Ford manufacturing capabilities. This includes U.S. assembly, quality control, and customer support. The result is a clearer path to dependable product supply, controlled manufacturing scope, and long-term operational confidence.

U.S. Assembly

We are developing a gigafactory for energy storage production in Kentucky, supported by Ford’s broader U.S. operational footprint.

Cell-to-Container Scope

Our planned manufacturing breadth covers full battery cells – including production of electrode coils – assembled into modules and containers, all under one roof. This will deliver stronger quality control and traceability.

Proven Technology Base

The underlying LFP prismatic technology we use has already been deployed globally, at scale.

Built for Buyer Risk Reduction

Domestic assembly. Service support. Regulatory alignment. It’s all designed to help reduce supply-chain, compliance, and lifecycle uncertainty.

Built With Regulatory and Incentive Readiness in Mind

The Ford Energy manufacturing and supply-chain strategy is designed to support a changing regulatory environment for battery energy storage. It aligns with Investment Tax Credit requirements. It also meets material assistance and domestic content standards relevant to grid-scale storage.
