Fluence Energy has started production at a new manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Arizona, that will produce enclosures made with U.S. steel and battery management system (BMS) hardware for Fluence’s grid-scale energy storage systems.
The company is ramping up the use of domestic manufacturing facilities in Arizona, Texas, Tennessee and Utah that supply cells, modules, enclosures, thermal management systems and battery management systems, in addition to Fluence’s domestic inverter supplier, which manufactures in South Carolina. These manufacturing partnerships represent approximately $700 million in investment and more than 1,200 manufacturing jobs, along with 450 construction jobs, in calendar year 2025 alone, with that number expected to quickly grow.
“By rapidly expanding our access to U.S. manufacturing, we’re helping our customers navigate complex global supply chain risks while reinforcing our commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and cybersecure energy storage systems at scale,” said John Zahurancik, president of Fluence Americas. “Enclosure and BMS production at the Goodyear facility is another strong step forward in this commitment.”
“Our goal is to fully onshore production, as quickly as possible, to be able to serve the entirety of our U.S. demand with products and components manufactured in the United States,” said Fluence Chief Product and Supply Chain Officer Peter Williams. “This facility brings us closer to that goal, which is to enable our customers to benefit from secure, reliable, and domestically produced energy storage solutions.”
