Fluence Energy, Inc. Stock Price, News & Analysis

Fluence Energy (NASDAQ: FLNC) hosted U.S. Senator John Curtis (R-UT) at their Utah manufacturing facility that produces battery modules for energy storage systems. The visit highlighted Fluence's expanding U.S. manufacturing investments, supported by federal tax credits. The company sources battery cells from a facility in Smyrna, Tennessee - the first U.S. facility to manufacture LFP battery cells for utility-scale storage - and is expanding operations with partners in Arizona and Texas.

Since announcing Utah operations in 2022, Fluence has strengthened its domestic supply chain commitment, aiming to onshore production of major components for grid-scale battery systems. The company's solutions support grid flexibility and reliability while contributing to U.S. energy security and regional economic growth.

NTR, a sustainable infrastructure investor, has partnered with Fluence to develop a major battery energy storage system in Finland. The 55MW / 110MWh Uusnivala project, located in Nivala, Northern Ostrobothnia, will be one of Finland's largest battery installations.

The project will use Fluence's advanced Gridstack Pro 5000 technology and Nispera asset management platform to provide critical services including frequency regulation, grid balancing, and energy shifting. Construction is set to begin shortly, with completion expected by mid-2026.

This marks the first battery project from the L&G NTR Clean Power Fund, which recently secured over €600m in commitments. The project follows NTR's earlier Finnish investment in the operational Pajuperänkangas 86.8MW windfarm, demonstrating their expanding presence in Finland's renewable energy sector.
