FIXX Energy Celebrates Production Milestone

FIXX Energy, a pioneer in American energy manufacturing, has reached an impressive milestone by producing more than five million lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic battery cells at its Smyrna, Tennessee facility. This achievement reflects the company's commitment to supporting the growth of domestic energy storage solutions.

Since transitioning to LFP cell production in April 2025, these five million battery cells have collectively created an energy storage capacity of around 5 GWh. This substantial output has the potential to power one million U.S. homes during peak evening hours. To visualize this production, if all the cells were lined up, they could stretch from the FIXX facility in Smyrna all the way to Washington, D.C.

As electric grids across the nation continue to evolve, FIXX's battery cells have been deployed in various energy storage projects, enhancing the reliability and affordability of energy for households and businesses throughout the country. Notably, the cells produced by FIXX Energy assist their partners in qualifying for various tax credits under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This includes Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credits and Section 48E Investment Tax Credits, which include bonuses for domestic content.

Jeff Juger, the CEO of FIXX Energy, expressed pride in this achievement, stating, "Five million cells is five million proof points that America can build the energy storage foundation our grid needs, right here at home. Our team has proven what American manufacturing can achieve, continually learning and innovating to improve quality, efficiency, and cost."

This production milestone also underscores the support of the Town of Smyrna, which has facilitated the manufacturing facility since its inception in 2012. Mayor Mary Esther Reed emphasized the importance of local manufacturing, remarking, "Smyrna has a proud legacy of advanced manufacturing, and reaching five million cells produced is a tremendous achievement for both FIXX Energy and our community."

FIXX Energy is committed to bridging the gap in the domestic supply chain, particularly as demand for energy storage solutions surges. The U.S. Energy Storage Coalition has highlighted that while overall battery module and system production surpasses domestic project demand, battery cell manufacturing remains crucial. With their production facility, FIXX contributes to fulfilling this need, thus supporting the broader $100 billion commitment within the energy storage industry to enhance American manufacturing capabilities. This initiative is expected to generate over 350,000 manufacturing jobs across the nation by the decade's end.

Noah Roberts, Executive Director of the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition, noted the vital role of energy storage in maintaining power grid reliability and driving down electricity costs. "Our continued success hinges on robust U.S. supply chains and investment in domestic manufacturing. FIXX's milestone is a testament to the impact such investments have on local communities, leading to job creation and increased energy security."

With its headquarters in Smyrna, FIXX Energy focuses on addressing pressing energy storage challenges that are fundamental to the future of the electric grid. The company serves essential sectors including utilities and critical infrastructure, delivering reliable and high-performance energy storage solutions tailored to specific needs. As the company flourishes, it remains steadfast in its mission to bolster U.S. energy security and supply chain resiliency, proving that American manufacturing is not only viable but imperative for future advancements in energy technology.
