e-STORAGE Opens State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Facility in Shelbyville, Kentucky

A Transformative Step for Energy Storage Innovation in the U.S.

We are excited to announce the grand opening of our cutting-edge manufacturing facility in Shelbyville, Kentucky, a monumental step in our journey toward building a more sustainable energy future. Representing a $712 million investment, this project will create 1,572 high-tech jobs and is the largest economic development initiative in Shelby County’s history.

 “We are proud to be a part of the growing energy technology transformation across the U.S., and we are thrilled to announce our investment in a new, state-of-the-art industrial battery cell, module, and packaging plant in Shelbyville, Kentucky that will employ over 1,500 Kentuckians,” said President of e-STORAGE, Colin Parkin. “This new plant will allow us to provide our U.S. customers with cutting-edge, American-made battery energy storage products.”

What Makes This Facility Special?

Located at 140 Logistics Drive, the 1-million-square-foot plant will manufacture utility-scale battery energy storage systems. These self-contained, modular solutions are crucial to advancing renewable energy adoption across the United States by making solar and wind energy reliable and dispatchable.

  • Initial Production Capacity: 3 GWh annually, doubling to 6 GWh in subsequent years.
  • Focus on Innovation: The facility features an on-site research and development lab, fostering collaboration with universities to continually evolve our technologies.
  • Local and National Impact: This investment strengthens Kentucky’s growing role in the energy storage industry and provides sustainable job opportunities for the community.
Empowering a Greener Future

At e-STORAGE, we are committed to leading the energy transition. With this new facility, we will deliver American-made, state-of-the-art energy storage solutions to utility companies and project developers nationwide. These systems will enhance grid resilience, reduce carbon emissions, and support the U.S.’s clean energy goals.

A Collaborative Achievement

This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the support of:

  • The Commonwealth of Kentucky, for creating a pro-business environment.
  • The Shelby County community, for welcoming us with open arms.
  • Our partners and suppliers, for aligning with our vision of a sustainable future.
  • The e-STORAGE team, whose expertise and innovation have made this project a reality.
What’s Next?

We’re on track to begin production in late 2025, with full-scale operations expected by early 2026. The Shelbyville facility is not just a manufacturing hub—it’s a cornerstone of innovation and collaboration, ensuring e-STORAGE remains at the forefront of the energy storage revolution.
