Ask what Korea is talking about.

Samsung SDI's U.S. subsidiary, Samsung SDI America, signed a contract on Oct. 26 with U.S. energy firm Alpha Omega Power (AOP) to supply 1 GWh of integrated energy storage systems (ESS), Yonhap reports. Including an earlier 0.5 GWh order from late last year, the total reaches 1.5 GWh, and the batteries—prismatic NCA cells made at a U.S. plant—will go into a large Texas power project starting next year, according to Dong-A Ilbo and Maeil Business. Korean outlets frame this as Samsung SDI's latest win in a North American order streak, driven by the AI data-center boom and its position as the only non-Chinese prismatic battery maker in the region.
