Samsung SDI has signed an agreement to supply 1 GWh of nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA) battery storage to U.S. utility and independent power producer Alpha Omega Power, with all cells and modules to be manufactured at Samsung SDI's StarPlus Energy plant in Kokomo, Indiana. The Samsung Battery Box (SBB) 1.7 containerized energy storage is to be delivered before the end of 2026, for projects scheduled to begin construction in 2027 in the WECC and ERCOT markets. The deal brings Samsung SDI's contracted supply to APO to 1.5 GWh, following an earlier contract signed in 2025.
