Fluence Energy opens energy storage manufacturing facility in Arizona
Fluence Energy has opened a new energy storage manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Arizona. The company, which delivers intelligent energy storage systems, services, and asset optimization software, is part of a broader $700 million initiative expected to create more than 1,200 manufacturing jobs and 450 construction jobs in 2025.
The Goodyear facility will produce enclosures made with U.S. steel and battery management system (BMS) hardware for Fluence's grid-scale energy storage systems. It plays a key role in the company’s broader strategy to onshore production of every major component of its energy storage systems to serve U.S. demand with domestically manufactured products. Fluence is expanding operations across Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, and Utah for components such as cells, modules, thermal management systems, and BMS hardware. The company also partners with a domestic inverter supplier in South Carolina.
The new facility reflects Fluence’s commitment to enhancing energy security, minimizing supply chain risk, and supporting the modernization of the U.S. power grid.
What people are saying
In a recent quote, John Zahurancik, President, Fluence Americas, said, “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. Enclosure and BMS production at the Goodyear facility is another strong step forward in this commitment.”
Fluence Chief Product and Supply Chain Officer Peter Williams added, "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. 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."
