Under this supply contract, Gotion will provide Ormat with batteries at a capacity of up to 750MWh, with a variable pricing structure, partly linked to Lithium Carbonate prices. In addition to the signed agreement, the companies are discussing additional supply contracts and expansions to the existing signed agreement to provide Ormat with U.S. domestic manufactured batteries from Gotion’s planned battery plant in Manteno, Illinois which will allow Ormat to benefit from higher Investment Tax Credits. Doron Blachar, CEO of Ormat Technologies, said, “We are excited to partner with Gotion and sign this new multi-year battery supply contract. We have been encouraged by the long-term trends we’re seeing in the Storage segment, and securing a critical battery supply while solidifying our supply chains gives us confidence in our ability to successfully advance our projects currently in development and achieve our long-term capacity goals. Our 2025 Energy storage goal of 600MW to 670MW remains well within our reach, and this multi-year deal strengthens our confidence in Ormat’s ability to expand and grow our storage offerings into new regions both in the short-term and long-term.” Chen Li, CEO of Gotion Global, said, “We look forward to the strategic partnership with Ormat and supporting Ormat with batteries for their ESS projects. We are excited to deliver products that support the green energy transition and carbon neutral future for generations to come, and to begin manufacturing products right here in the United States.
