LG Energy Solution to supply 981MWh of grid-scale ESS batteries from 2026 to 2027 The company to deliver first grid-scale ESS batteries manufactured at its Poland facility

SEOUL, South Korea, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Energy Solution announced today that it has signed an agreement with PGE, Poland’s largest energy sector company, to supply 981MWh of grid-scale ESS batteries between 2026 and 2027.

Both companies will collaborate to establish a battery energy storage facility in Żarnowiec, Poland. PGE plans to commence the project’s commercial operation in 2027.  

LG Energy Solution will also provide a turnkey solution encompassing containerized battery systems, Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services with partners in Europe.

This project will feature the first grid-scale ESS batteries to be manufactured at LG Energy Solution’s production facility in Poland. The company will supply high-capacity LFP[1] long-cell batteries with enhanced energy efficiency and safety, high energy density compared to conventional LFP solutions, and Liquid Cooling technology that optimizes performance and reliability.

“This project is one of the largest ESS initiatives led by LG Energy Solution in Europe,” said Hyung Kim, Head of the ESS Battery Division at LG Energy Solution. “By launching LFP-based products designed specifically for the European market and leveraging our local production capabilities, we have maximized customer value.”

He continued, “We are honored to support Poland’s energy transition through this agreement. Moving forward, we will continue to provide optimal solutions for our customers and accelerate the expansion of our ESS business in Europe.”

As a renowned state-owned company in Poland’s energy sector, PGE supplies electricity to nearly six million households, businesses, and institutions across the country.

“We are excited to enter a new era of energy storage with the construction of our first large-scale battery energy storage facility in Żarnowiec,” said Dariusz Marzec, President of the Management Board of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna. “Our partnership with LG Energy Solution marks a major milestone in our commitment to advancing Poland’s clean energy transition, and we look forward to strengthening our collaboration to foster sustainable growth in the region.”

By bolstering LG Energy Solution’s position in future public tenders for European state-owned energy companies, this project is set to expand the company’s footprint in the regional grid-scale ESS market. To nurture its ESS business, the company is leveraging its “Made in Europe” manufacturing capabilities to meet the demands of European customers and governments prioritizing locally produced solutions. This strategy also seeks to enhance market presence, unlock new business opportunities, and highlight the quality and competitiveness of locally produced products.

Meanwhile, as energy security concerns continue to rise across Europe, demand for renewable energy infrastructure and ESS solutions is growing rapidly. Additionally, advancements in AI are accelerating the expansion of data centers, further driving ESS demand.

PoweredBy launches as the world’s first AI agency for SMBs, offering custom AI agent solutions for voice, phone, email, SMS-text, and more, empowering small and medium-sized businesses to compete with Fortune 500 companies using cutting-edge AI agent technology.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today marks the official launch of Powered_by ( https://poweredby.agency/ ), an agency business building custom AI agents for SMBs. Powered_by designs and builds bespoke AI agent solutions for diverse industries. From auto dealerships to real estate agencies, retail stores to hospitality providers, its team has a proven track record of delivering AI agent solutions that empower our clients to thrive and compete.

Powered_by is a mission-driven organization. That mission is to democratize access to advanced AI agent technology to small and medium-sized businesses. As the backbone of the U.S. economy, SMBs have the right to use the same advanced AI systems currently deployed across the Fortune 500. Taking the cutting-edge AI agent technology currently being pioneered in Silicon Valley, Powered_by makes it deadly simple and economical to operate. It builds custom AI agent solutions for voice, phone, email, SMS-text, digital avatars, and stacks them together for a seamless experience.

The Powered_by team is composed of seasoned AI builders, forward deployed engineers, and SaaS startup executives with decades of combined software experience. They’ve mastered the intricacies of natural language processing, speech synthesis, and multi-channel communication systems, allowing Powered_by to build AI agents that seamlessly integrate into a client’s existing workflows. 

“In today’s business climate, it’s imperative for SMBs to compete their level-best with the Fortune 500 by embracing the latest in AI innovation,” said Andrew Wesbecher, Founder of Powered_by. “We’re on a mission to democratize access to the most advanced AI agent systems for any organization, no matter its size, industry, or budget. By combining deep human expertise with cutting-edge AI agent technology, we ensure that your AI agent vision can be realized on-time and at budget.”

What Makes an AI Agency Unique?

When most small and mid-sized businesses consider AI, they either see costly in-house builds or deeply expensive enterprise solutions. Powered_by bridges this gap by serving as a dedicated AI Agency; guiding customers step-by-step with customized, human-like AI solutions that fit their budget, timeline, and brand. Powered_by handles the technical heavy lifting and delivers straightforward, powerful tools so clients can focus on what truly matters: delighting end customers. In partnering with Powered_by, SMBs don’t need to hire a new AI engineering team to fully realize the benefits of the most advanced agent technology.

Personalized Implementation

The big AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google excel at building robust AI engines—but they rarely deliver a fully tailored, turnkey solution. Powered_by simplifies & adapts these world-class models to an SMB’s unique business goals, customer pain points, and existing tech stack. Instead of the self-service and limited troubleshooting options offered by OpenAI and others, Powered_by’s hands-on experts ensure any AI agent solution is properly integrated, trained, and continuously improved. The Powered_by team isn’t just handing customers the keys; they’re the driver, mechanic, and co-pilot every step of the way. It collaborates with leading the LLM providers behind the scenes but remains the client’s single point of contact in any AI agent journey.

Serving a Diverse Clientele

Powered_by partners with a broad range of clients—small businesses, tech startups, and established mid-market organizations—looking to harness the transformative power of AI agents.

“Our clients can expect an a approachable, forward-thinking team of AI agent experts who respect the vital role of SMBs in our economy,” added Andrew Wesbecher, Founder at Powered_by. “We understand that each organization has unique needs and goals, and we tailor our AI agent solutions to maximize impact without losing sight of a brand’s heritage.”

A Commitment to Customer Centricity

Customer centricity is the foundation to the work at Powered_by. It places the needs, preferences, and success of clients at the heart of every decision and action. Powered_by builds genuine relationships with our customers, listens intently to feedback, and commits to a client’s success equaling its own.

Advancements in AI agents are moving at astonishing speed. What the state-of-the-art in agent technology is today might be legacy within a year. When you work with Powered_by, clients are not just getting a project delivered. They are getting a long-term partner dedicated to ensuring you stay ahead of the AI curve.
