EnerSys has refined its Greenville, South Carolina lithium-ion plant plan to a defense- and aerospace-focused facility with an initial capacity of about 1 gigawatt-hour and a smaller footprint, backed by roughly $150 million in DOE grants and about $200 million in state and local incentives, for a total investment near $500 million and board approval. The project targets FEOC-compliant, U.S.-based production to bolster national security and supply chain resilience, moving away from Verkor technology in favor of its defense-focused supplier network, with construction expected in early FY2028 and production about three years later.
