AI generated summary

Fluence Energy Inc has officially opened a new factory in Houston, Texas, dedicated to producing thermal management systems for its battery storage solutions, with Bergstrom as the manufacturing partner. This facility will focus on creating heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and chiller equipment specifically for Fluence's Gridstack Pro technology, marking a significant step in the company's strategy to localize the production of essential battery system components within the United States.

Founded in January 2018 through a partnership between Siemens and AES, Fluence operates five factories across the US in collaboration with various manufacturing partners. These facilities are responsible for producing a wide range of components, including battery cells, modules, inverters, enclosures, and control equipment. With over 22,000 MWh of battery energy storage capacity deployed or contracted across more than 90 projects in the US, Fluence is also expanding its global footprint, having recently inaugurated a 35-GWh factory in Vietnam.
