NextNRG, A123 sign MOU for U.S. battery energy storage projects

NextNRG (NXXT) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with A123 Systems to support the deployment of battery energy storage systems manufactured in the United States. NextNRG and A123 believe this collaboration positions them to capitalize on accelerating domestic demand for battery storage while strengthening the U.S. energy supply chain. By prioritizing domestically manufactured systems, the collaboration is expected to help avoid additional import tariffs, mitigate trade-related exposure, and support predictable project execution at scale as demand for battery storage continues to expand nationwide. The MOU establishes a preliminary framework for evaluating large-scale storage opportunities that prioritize U.S.-based manufacturing and domestic sourcing. By deploying A123 battery systems produced within the United States, the companies aim to enhance supply chain resilience, reduce geopolitical and trade-related risks, and align with evolving federal, state, and customer preferences for domestically manufactured energy infrastructure. The MOU also outlines the parties’ intent to evaluate further strategic cooperation, including the potential development of a U.S.-based manufacturing facility, without requiring capital investment from NextNRG, as both parties reinforce their emphasis on a domestic and capital-efficient growth model focused on scale, long-term resilience, and speed to market.
