Ultium Cells, the joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution, is shifting part of its US battery production from EVs to energy storage systems (ESS).

The company said it’s investing $70 million to retool its Spring Hill, Tennessee, factory to make lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells for ESS. The upgrade is already underway, and the plant is expected to start producing the new cells in the second quarter of 2026.

### Ultium shifts to energy storage

The Spring Hill site will produce LFP cells that will be sent to LG Energy Solution Vertech, the company’s US energy storage division. From there, the cells will be assembled into large, US-made battery enclosures for grid-scale projects and data centers across North America.

LG Energy Solution is expanding its North American network to support this push. In addition to Spring Hill, it operates facilities in Holland and Lansing, Michigan, and in Windsor, Ontario, and operates a joint venture with Honda. By the end of 2026, all of those sites are expected to produce at least some of LG’s standard JF2 LFP pouch cells for energy storage.
