Georgia-based Stryten Energy on March 31 said it plans to add 10 gigawatts (GW) of new battery energy storage manufacturing capacity, boosting its U.S. capacity to 24 GW.

Supported by existing advanced manufacturing production tax credits, Stryten said the company aims to increase the domestic supply of batteries for the military, long-duration energy storage, transportation and material-handling applications.

“Our investments to significantly increase the gigawatt capacity across our footprint will help to support the growing energy demand and achieve our nation's goal of true energy resilience,” Stryten Energy CEO Mike Judd said in a news release.

As part of the plan, Stryten said it also will increase domestic processing capacity of recycled plastic from spent batteries, which is used to produce the new battery components.

The company, which provides battery components to its factories, has plants in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Missouri and Wisconsin. Stryten recently opened a lithium battery assembly plant in Georgia.
