Tesla’s latest supply deal with LG Energy Solution comes as the electric vehicle maker ramps up its energy storage production capabilities.\nMelissa Sue Gerrits via Getty Images\nThis audio is auto-generated. Please let us know if you have\nfeedback\n.\nTesla and LG Energy Solution have agreed to build a $4.3 billion manufacturing facility in Lansing, Michigan, to produce lithium-iron-phosphate cells for Tesla's Megapack 3 utility-scale energy storage systems, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.\nProduction at the facility is scheduled to begin in 2027,\nthe agency said in a press release\n. The facility will supply cells for Megapack 3 systems assembled at Tesla's Houston-area Megafactory.\nTesla and LG did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the supply agreement.\nThe LG deal comes as Tesla sees increasing interest in its energy generation and storage production capabilities. In 2025, the company ended the year with nearly $12.8 billion in revenue within the segment, representing a 26.6% year-over-year growth rate, CFO Vaibhav Taneja told investors during\nthe company's Q4 2025 earnings call\n.\n\"This was the result of higher deployments in all regions and continued strength in demand for both Megapack and Powerwall,\" Taneja said, referring to the company’s large-scale energy storage and home battery storage products, respectively. \"As we look at 2026, our backlog remains strong, well diversified globally, and we expect increasing deployments with the launch of Megapack 3 and Megablock.\"\nIn its\nQ4 earnings call presentation\n, Tesla reported that it planned to\nbegin production of Megapack 3 and Megablock\nat its Houston facility this year.\nMeanwhile, LG, a major maker of electric vehicle batteries, also plans to expand its energy storage systems business. The company expects to book 90GWh of new grid-scale and other energy storage system orders this year and to expand its production capacity to over 60GWh, according to\nthe company's 2025 financial results\n. It also said it plans to have more than 80% of its energy storage systems production capacity in North America.\nLG has emphasized energy storage systems while maintaining automotive partnerships, including two multi-year\nEV battery supply agreements\nwith Mercedes-Benz. However, Ford\ncancelled a $6.5 billion battery supply contract\nwith the company last year as the carmaker shifts its focus away from EVs.\nThe latest partnership between Tesla and LG was confirmed as part of a broader package of projects meant to strengthen U.S. energy manufacturing, which included private sector commitments totaling $56 billion to secure critical energy supply chains in the U.S., according to the Interior Department. The commitments followed a meeting between the Trump administration and Indo-Pacific leaders from 17 countries.\nOther commitments stemming from the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum involved projects related to liquefied natural gas expansion, nuclear energy, coal-based power and fuel technologies.\nMercedes-Benz, LG strike $11B EV battery supply deal\nBy\nEric Walz\n•\nSept. 11, 2025\nFord cancels $6.5B battery supply contract with LG Energy Solution\nBy\nEric Walz\n•\nDec. 23, 2025","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to main content](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/news\/tesla-lg-to-build-43b-lfp-battery-plant-in-michigan\/814976\/#skip-link-target)\n\n![Supply Chain Dive](https:\/\/d12v9rtnomnebu.cloudfront.net\/logo\/publications\/supplychain_black.svg)\n\nCONTINUE TO SITE ➞\n\n[![Informa Tech Target Logo](https:\/\/d12v9rtnomnebu.cloudfront.net\/logo\/ITechTarget-Orbit-W_rgb.png) Informa TechTarget \\|](https:\/\/www.informatechtarget.com\/)\n\n- [Manufacturing Dive](https:\/\/www.manufacturingdive.com\/)\n- [Retail Dive](https:\/\/www.retaildive.com\/)\n- [Trucking Dive](https:\/\/www.truckingdive.com\/)\n- [SearchERP](https:\/\/techtarget.com\/searcherp\/\/)\n\n[Explore our brands ![Informa Tech Target Brands](https:\/\/d12v9rtnomnebu.cloudfront.net\/logo\/link-external-wht.svg)](https:\/\/www.informatechtarget.com\/our-brands\/)  [An Informa TechTarget Publication](https:\/\/www.informatechtarget.com\/)\n\n[![Supply Chain Dive](https:\/\/d12v9rtnomnebu.cloudfront.net\/logo\/publications\/supplychain_black.svg)](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/)\n\n- [Deep Dive](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/deep-dive\/)\n- [Opinion](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/opinion\/)\n- [Library](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/library\/)\n- [Events](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/events\/)\n- [Press Releases](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/press-release\/)\n- Topics\n\n[Sign up](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/signup\/?signup_location=header)\n\n![menu](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/static\/img\/menu_icons\/menu.svg?313321260226)\n\n- ![search](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/static\/img\/menu_icons\/search.svg?313321260226) Search\n- [![](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/static\/img\/email_icons\/mail.svg?313321260226) Sign up](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/signup\/?signup_location=header)\n\n- [Risk](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/topic\/risk-resilience\/)\n- [Technology](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/topic\/technology\/)\n- [Operations](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/topic\/operations\/)\n- [Procurement](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/topic\/procurement\/)\n- [Logistics](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/topic\/logistics\/)\n- [Freight](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/topic\/freight\/)\n- [Regulation](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/topic\/regulation\/)\n\nAn article from ![site logo](https:\/\/d12v9rtnomnebu.cloudfront.net\/logo\/printer_friendly\/supplychaindive.jpg)\n\n# Tesla, LG to build \\$4.3B battery plant as part of supply agreement\nThe Michigan manufacturing facility is scheduled to open in 2027 and will provide batteries for Tesla’s Megapack 3 utility-scale energy storage systems.\n\nPublished March 17, 2026\n\n[![Antone Gonsalves's headshot](https:\/\/d12v9rtnomnebu.cloudfront.net\/diveimages\/Gonsalves_Antone_Default_circle-warm-150x150_Headshot.png)](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/editors\/agonsalves\/)\n\n[Antone Gonsalves](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/editors\/agonsalves\/) Reporter\n\n- [![Share this article](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/static\/img\/social_icons\/share-icon.svg?313321260226) Share]()\n  -

Please let us know if you have [feedback](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/contact\/).\n\nTesla and LG Energy Solution have agreed to build a \\$4.3 billion manufacturing facility in Lansing, Michigan, to produce lithium-iron-phosphate cells for Tesla's Megapack 3 utility-scale energy storage systems, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.\n\nProduction at the facility is scheduled to begin in 2027, [the agency said in a press release](https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/trump-administration-announces-deals-totaling-56-billion-during-indo-pacific-energy-security-summit). The facility will supply cells for Megapack 3 systems assembled at Tesla's Houston-area Megafactory.\n\nTesla and LG did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the supply agreement.\n\nThe LG deal comes as Tesla sees increasing interest in its energy generation and storage production capabilities. In 2025, the company ended the year with nearly \\$12.8 billion in revenue within the segment, representing a 26.6% year-over-year growth rate, CFO Vaibhav Taneja told investors during [the company's Q4 2025 earnings call](https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4863626-tesla-inc-tsla-q4-2025-earnings-call-transcript).\n\n\"This was the result of higher deployments in all regions and continued strength in demand for both Megapack and Powerwall,\" Taneja said, referring to the company’s large-scale energy storage and home battery storage products, respectively. \"As we look at 2026, our backlog remains strong, well diversified globally, and we expect increasing deployments with the launch of Megapack 3 and Megablock.\"\n\nIn its [Q4 earnings call presentation](https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4863644-tesla-inc-2025-q4-results-earnings-call-presentation), Tesla reported that it planned to [begin production of Megapack 3 and Megablock](about:blank) at its Houston facility this year.\n\nMeanwhile, LG, a major maker of electric vehicle batteries, also plans to expand its energy storage systems business. The company expects to book 90GWh of new grid-scale and other energy storage system orders this year and to expand its production capacity to over 60GWh, according to [the company's 2025 financial results](https:\/\/www.lgensol.com\/en\/company\/newsroom-detail?seq=8727). It also said it plans to have more than 80% of its energy storage systems production capacity in North America.\n\nLG has emphasized energy storage systems while maintaining automotive partnerships, including two multi-year [EV battery supply agreements](https:\/\/www.wardsauto.com\/news\/archive-auto-mercedes-benz-secures-long-term-battery-supply-deal-11b-lg-energy-solution\/759644\/) with Mercedes-Benz.

The commitments followed a meeting between the Trump administration and Indo-Pacific leaders from 17 countries.\n\nOther commitments stemming from the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum involved projects related to liquefied natural gas expansion, nuclear energy, coal-based power and fuel technologies.\n\n- [Mercedes-Benz, LG strike \\$11B EV battery supply deal](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/news\/mercedes-benz-secures-long-term-battery-supply-deal-11b-lg-energy-solution\/759884\/)   By [Eric Walz](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/editors\/ewalz\/) •  Sept. 11, 2025\n- [Ford cancels \\$6.5B battery supply contract with LG Energy Solution](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/news\/ford-terminates-ev-battery-supply-deal-lg-energy-solution\/808436\/)   By [Eric Walz](https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/editors\/ewalz\/) •  Dec. 23, 2025","meta_canonical":null}

"This was the result of higher deployments in all regions and continued strength in demand for both Megapack and Powerwall," Taneja said, referring to the company’s large-scale energy storage and home battery storage products, respectively. "As we look at 2026, our backlog remains strong, well diversified globally, and we expect increasing deployments with the launch of Megapack 3 and Megablock." In its Q4 earnings call presentation , Tesla reported that it planned to begin production of Megapack 3 and Megablock at its Houston facility this year. Meanwhile, LG, a major maker of electric vehicle batteries, also plans to expand its energy storage systems business. The company expects to book 90GWh of new grid-scale and other energy storage system orders this year and to expand its production capacity to over 60GWh, according to the company's 2025 financial results . It also said it plans to have more than 80% of its energy storage systems production capacity in North America. LG has emphasized energy storage systems while maintaining automotive partnerships, including two multi-year EV battery supply agreements with Mercedes-Benz. However, Ford cancelled a $6.5 billion battery supply contract with the company last year as the carmaker shifts its focus away from EVs. The latest partnership between Tesla and LG was confirmed as part of a broader package of projects meant to strengthen U.S. energy manufacturing, which included private sector commitments totaling $56 billion to secure critical energy supply chains in the U.S., according to the Interior Department. The commitments followed a meeting between the Trump administration and Indo-Pacific leaders from 17 countries. Other commitments stemming from the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum involved projects related to liquefied natural gas expansion, nuclear energy, coal-based power and fuel technologies.

Tesla and LG Energy Solution have agreed to build a \$4.3 billion manufacturing facility in Lansing, Michigan, to produce lithium-iron-phosphate cells for Tesla's Megapack 3 utility-scale energy storage systems, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior. Production at the facility is scheduled to begin in 2027, [the agency said in a press release](https://www.doi.gov/trump-administration-announces-deals-totaling-56-billion-during-indo-pacific-energy-security-summit).

Tesla’s latest supply deal with LG Energy Solution comes as the electric vehicle maker ramps up its energy storage production capabilities. Melissa Sue Gerrits via Getty Images This audio is auto-generated. Please let us know if you have [feedback](https://www.supplychaindive.com/contact/). Tesla and LG Energy Solution have agreed to build a \$4.3 billion manufacturing facility in Lansing, Michigan, to produce lithium-iron-phosphate cells for Tesla's Megapack 3 utility-scale energy storage systems, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior. Production at the facility is scheduled to begin in 2027, [the agency said in a press release](https://www.doi.gov/trump-administration-announces-deals-totaling-56-billion-during-indo-pacific-energy-security-summit). The facility will supply cells for Megapack 3 systems assembled at Tesla's Houston-area Megafactory. Tesla and LG did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the supply agreement. The LG deal comes as Tesla sees increasing interest in its energy generation and storage production capabilities. In 2025, the company ended the year with nearly \$12.8 billion in revenue within the segment, representing a 26.6% year-over-year growth rate, CFO Vaibhav Taneja told investors during [the company's Q4 2025 earnings call](https://seekingalpha.com/article/4863626-tesla-inc-tsla-q4-2025-earnings-call-transcript). "This was the result of higher deployments in all regions and continued strength in demand for both Megapack and Powerwall," Taneja said, referring to the company’s large-scale energy storage and home battery storage products, respectively. "As we look at 2026, our backlog remains strong, well diversified globally, and we expect increasing deployments with the launch of Megapack 3 and Megablock." In its [Q4 earnings call presentation](https://seekingalpha.com/article/4863644-tesla-inc-2025-q4-results-earnings-call-presentation), Tesla reported that it planned to [begin production of Megapack 3 and Megablock](about:blank) at its Houston facility this year. Meanwhile, LG, a major maker of electric vehicle batteries, also plans to expand its energy storage systems business. The company expects to book 90GWh of new grid-scale and other energy storage system orders this year and to expand its production capacity to over 60GWh, according to [the company's 2025 financial results](https://www.lgensol.com/en/company/newsroom-detail?seq=8727). It also said it plans to have more than 80% of its energy storage systems production capacity in North America. LG has emphasized energy storage systems while maintaining automotive partnerships, including two multi-year [EV battery supply agreements](https://www.wardsauto.com/news/archive-auto-mercedes-benz-secures-long-term-battery-supply-deal-11b-lg-energy-solution/759644/) with Mercedes-Benz. However, Ford [cancelled a \$6.5 billion battery supply contract](https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/ford-terminates-ev-battery-supply-deal-lg-energy-solution/808436/) with the company last year as the carmaker shifts its focus away from EVs. The latest partnership between Tesla and LG was confirmed as part of a broader package of projects meant to strengthen U.S. energy manufacturing, which included private sector commitments totaling \$56 billion to secure critical energy supply chains in the U.S., according to the Interior Department. The commitments followed a meeting between the Trump administration and Indo-Pacific leaders from 17 countries. Other commitments stemming from the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum involved projects related to liquefied natural gas expansion, nuclear energy, coal-based power and fuel technologies. - [Mercedes-Benz, LG strike \$11B EV battery supply deal](https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/mercedes-benz-secures-long-term-battery-supply-deal-11b-lg-energy-solution/759884/) By [Eric Walz](https://www.supplychaindive.com/editors/ewalz/) • Sept. 11, 2025 - [Ford cancels \$6.5B battery supply contract with LG Energy Solution](https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/ford-terminates-ev-battery-supply-deal-lg-energy-solution/808436/) By [Eric Walz](https://www.supplychaindive.com/editors/ewalz/) • Dec. 23, 2025
