With global demand for energy storage systems growing, NextStar Energy in Windsor is ramping up production.
On Friday, the plant announced a third production stage on the site's existing cell and module operations, allowing for full vertical integration from battery cell to finished pack.
"Adding pack production means we can now take a battery from cell to module or to a finished pack, all here in Windsor," said CEO Danies Lee. "This expansion reflects our commitment to capitalizing on the rapid growth of the ESS market and is a meaningful step to strengthen Canada's position in the global battery supply chain as well."
The plant is Canada's first and only commercial-scale battery manufacturing plant. After starting production last November, it quickly reached the milestone of producing one million cells in February.
