The framework agreement positions Ford Energy as a key BESS supplier for EDF power solutions’ growing portfolio of grid-scale energy storage projects across the United States. Deliveries under the agreement are expected to begin in 2028, stated the company.
Commenting on the development, Lisa Drake, President, Ford Energy, said, “This agreement with EDF power solutions validates the market’s need for a BESS supplier that combines industrial-scale manufacturing discipline with full lifecycle accountability. We are not simply delivering hardware. We are delivering the kind of predictable quality and long-term operational confidence that grid operators and large-scale developers require. Ford Energy was purpose-built to serve customers who cannot afford uncertainty in their energy storage supply chain.”
Tristan Grimbert, CEO, EDF power solutions North America, remarked, “As we continue to expand our energy storage portfolio, supply chain reliability and product quality are paramount. Ford Energy’s commitment to domestic manufacturing and its rigorous approach to traceability and lifecycle support align with the standards we hold across our portfolio. This framework agreement gives us the supply visibility and product confidence we need to execute at the pace the energy transition demands.”
The Ford Energy DC Block is a standardised, 20-foot containerised energy storage system with a rated capacity of 5.45 MWh per unit. The system utilises 512 Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic cells and is available in 2-hour and 4-hour discharge configurations, with an operating voltage range of 1,040–1,500 VDC and integrated liquid-cooled thermal management. The DC Block is designed for utility-scale applications, including frequency regulation, voltage support, energy arbitrage, peak load shifting, demand response, backup power, and microgrid integration, stated the company.
