Kokomo battery plant lines up a grid-storage order as industrial projects advance

Samsung SDI says its U.S. subsidiary signed a deal to supply Alpha Omega Power with 1 gigawatt-hour of battery storage systems. Samsung said the cells and modules would be made at the StarPlus Energy plant in Kokomo, with delivery expected by the end of 2026. The agreement gives the Kokomo battery plant a customer in the utility-scale storage market.

Elsewhere in Kokomo, Haynes International says it broke ground Sept. 23 on an expansion that includes a new melting facility and forge. Digital Realty has separately proposed a data center campus at Industrial Park North.

What remains unverified

The battery delivery is a company target. BusinessIndy has yet to confirm completed shipments, the final disposition of the Nov. 9 land measures, or binding utility cost and service terms for the proposed data center.
