LG ES also aims to make its first sample shipments of sodium batteries for energy storage customers during 2027. LG ES confirmed this morning that operating profit for the quarter stood at KRW113.3 billion with an operating profit margin of 1.5%. “Surging demand” for energy storage drove a 4.6x increase in revenue growth for the ESS business. LG ES said rising power demand and investment in AI infrastructure are driving growth in both front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage market segments. This article has been amended to reflect that LG ES consolidated revenues rose 15.3% quarter-on-quarter from Q1 to Q2 and not 13.3% as originally published.
