Shares of NeoVolta Inc. (NASDAQ:NEOV) jumped 24% on Monday after the company announced a strategic supply and manufacturing agreement between its subsidiary, NeoVolta Power, and South Korean battery giant SK On.
Details of the Agreement
The five-year collaboration, set to run from 2027 through 2031, secures a significant supply of U.S.-manufactured battery cells for NeoVolta. Under the terms, SK On will become the primary supplier for NeoVolta Power’s battery energy storage system (BESS) products.
Key components of the deal include:
- Initial Supply: SK On will provide 9 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pouch cells to NeoVolta Power’s facility in Pendergrass, Georgia.
- Potential Expansion: The framework includes provisions for SK On to supply an additional 9 GWh of cells, bringing the total potential collaboration to 18 GWh.
- Manufacturing Partnership: NeoVolta Power will utilize its domestic production lines to manufacture energy storage packs for purchase by SK On.
AdStrategic Implications for NeoVolta
This partnership is a critical step in NeoVolta's strategy to scale its U.S. manufacturing and expand into the large-scale energy storage market. The secured supply of domestically produced cells is expected to support the growth of its Pendergrass facility, which targets an annual production capacity of up to 8 GWh by 2028.
"This collaboration represents an important milestone in NeoVolta’s expansion into large-scale energy storage and the continued buildout of our U.S. manufacturing platform," said Ardes Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of NeoVolta, in the company's announcement. The deal positions the company to meet rising demand from the utility, commercial, industrial, and AI data-center sectors with a U.S.-based supply chain.
