Energy storage system provider Fenecon plans to establish North American operations in Greenville, South Carolina. The $3 million project is expected to create 68 jobs.

The new headquarters and manufacturing facility, located at 315 Tanner Price Waye, will produce, customize and distribute the company’s “Industrial L” energy storage system. Operations are scheduled to begin in September 2024.

“With this expansion, we aim to extend our leadership in storage technologies and serve the American market with our award-winning, innovative solutions. Our multi-million-euro investment in the USA underscores our commitment and confidence in the growth potential of the region,” said Fenecon International GmbH CEO Thomas Goesswein.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits.

With South Carolina’s increased focus on advanced energy, we are pleased to add a company that produces innovative energy storage systems to our family of industries. Congratulations to Fenecon on this exciting endeavor,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

Fenecon operates in the clean energy sector, offering innovative battery energy storage systems and smart energy management. The company designs and produces cutting-edge energy storage solutions for the home, commercial and industrial markets.
