The systems will be manufactured and assembled in Manteno, Illinois
Richard Electronics has partnered with Gotion Inc. to introduce large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) to the multi-billion-dollar U.S. market.
Through this partnership, both companies will address the rapidly increasing demand for energy storage across commercial and industrial (C&I) and utility-scale applications.
They will introduce two advanced battery energy storage systems (BESS) platforms. The first one is a 760 kWh solution tailored for C&I applications, and the second is a 5 MWh system designed for large-scale utility deployments.
These platforms will offer a wide range of projects, from customised installations for businesses to utility-scale developments capable of reaching hundreds of megawatts.
The systems will be manufactured and assembled in Manteno, Illinois, enabling customers to better manage rising electricity costs, gain greater control over energy consumption, and enhance grid reliability.
The initiative also aligns with the expansion of battery storage in the state, supported by the Illinois Climate Resilience and Grid Advancement Program (CRGA), which offers incentives of up to $250 per kWh for standalone storage systems.
With battery storage playing a central role in Illinois’ clean energy transition, Richardson Electronics is strategically positioned to drive growth in BESS deployments both statewide and across the U.S., serving utility-scale projects as well as tailored C&I solutions that improve efficiency and operational flexibility.
“Richardson Electronics is excited to partner with Gotion as we expand our power management and energy storage solutions portfolio,” said Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Power & Microwave Technologies and Green Energy Solutions groups. “Gotion’s advanced battery technology combined with Richardson’s deep knowledge of the U.S. power market and global engineering support capabilities positions us well to bring reliable, high-performance battery energy storage solutions to customers across utility and commercial markets.”
Under the agreement, Gotion will provide advanced battery technology produced at Gotion’s Illinois manufacturing hub in Manteno, Illinois, while Richardson Electronics will leverage its extensive experience in the U.S. energy market to support commercialisation, engineering integration, and go-to-market strategy.
“This partnership reflects Gotion’s long-term commitment to building a localized, resilient battery supply chain in the United States,” said Jacky Yu, VP of Sales, Gotion, Inc. “By combining our advanced battery technology with Richardson Electronics’ deep market expertise, we are enabling scalable, domestically supported energy storage solutions that meet the growing reliability, cost and performance needs of U.S. customers across commercial, industrial and utility segments.”
