Westborough, MA, DECEMBER 19, 2024 – LG Energy Solution Vertech announced today the signing of a multi-year agreement with Excelsior Energy Capital (Excelsior). This agreement provides 7.5 GWhs of fully integrated lithium-ion energy storage projects that will be supported with integration and lifecycle services from LG Energy Solution Vertech.

We also gain access to the full benefits of U.S. manufactured products with this partnership.”

The company invests in renewables with a differentiated strategy addressing North American renewable power generation, targeting low risk, long term, stable yields with low correlation to other asset classes, actively raising and deploying capital.
“Excelsior is thoughtfully establishing projects in the US,” said Hyung Kim, Head of ESS Battery Division at LG Energy Solution, the parent company of LG Energy Solution Vertech. “We place great value in being a long-term partner to our customers, supporting projects throughout their lifecycles with services and software that enable success well beyond project commissioning.
