Peak Energy selects Sacramento for first US grid-scale sodium-ion storage factory

SolarNews Brief

Peak Energy has selected Sacramento, California for what it says will be the first US factory dedicated to grid-scale sodium-ion energy storage systems. The 183,000-square-foot facility is planned for up to 4 GWh of annual battery-system output and is backed by more than 6 GWh of customer commitments.

The company said the Sacramento Metro Air Park site represents up to $71 million of capital investment and is expected to create 239 local jobs over the next 18 months. Peak says the plant will support rising storage demand from AI, data centers and grid growth while strengthening domestic energy-storage manufacturing. The project also benefits from a $10.5 million California Competes tax credit awarded in May 2026.
