Ford Energy, the new stationary storage subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, has signed a five-year, 20-GWh supply agreement with EDF Power Solutions. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2028.
“As we continue to expand our energy storage portfolio, supply chain reliability and product quality are paramount,” said Tristan Grimbert, CEO, EDF Power Solutions North America. “Ford Energy’s commitment to domestic manufacturing and its rigorous approach to traceability and lifecycle support align with the standards we hold across our portfolio. This framework agreement gives us the supply visibility and product confidence we need to execute at the pace the energy transition demands.”
Ford formally launched its stationary energy storage business earlier this month. The company is converting an EV manufacturing plant in Kentucky to produce components for its 5-MWh DC Block BESS.
“This agreement with EDF Power Solutions validates the market’s need for a BESS supplier that combines industrial-scale manufacturing discipline with full lifecycle accountability,” said Lisa Drake, president, Ford Energy. “We are not simply delivering hardware. We are delivering the kind of predictable quality and long-term operational confidence that grid operators and large-scale developers require. Ford Energy was purpose-built to serve customers who cannot afford uncertainty in their energy storage supply chain.”
The Ford Energy DC Block is a standardized, 20-ft containerized energy storage system with a rated capacity of 5.45 MWh per unit. The system utilizes 512-Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic cells.
