LG Energy Solution Ltd.’s (LGES) battery factory in Queen Creek is preparing to open next summer. The Phoenix Business Journal reports that the $3.2 billion battery factory will open in the summer of 2026.

The company expects the one-million-square-foot battery manufacturing plant northeast of Ironwood and Germann roads to create 1,500 new employment opportunities. The facility is 60% completed. A highly touted different factory working on energy storage systems has been put on hold.
