LG Energy Solution (373220.KS) rises 16% on 6GWh DTE storage deal

16% was the intraday move in LG Energy Solution (373220.KS) after the Korean battery maker announced a U.S. battery energy storage system agreement with DTE Energy. The company release gives the contract scale as 6GWh.

The order covers DTE's Trenton Channel Energy Center and two other Michigan storage projects, with a total portfolio of 1.5GW. LG Energy Solution said shipments of lithium iron phosphate batteries will begin in 2026 and continue through 2028. For a Korean large-cap battery stock, the market signal is not only volume; it is the mix shift toward U.S. grid-storage demand at a time when EV battery growth has become less linear.

CNBC reported that the shares rose as much as 16% after the announcement. That move qualifies under the Tier-1 single-stock filter because it clears the 8% threshold and is tied to a named commercial contract, not a theme-only rally.

The next items to watch are the delivery schedule, project commissioning dates, and whether LG Energy Solution discloses additional U.S. storage customers. The company did not put a dollar value in the cited release, so this article uses the primary-source energy-capacity figures rather than an uncited revenue estimate.
