  • Deliveries are expected to kick off in 2028, with EDF able to procure up to 4 GWh/year of Ford Energy’s DC Block. This 20-ft containerized system will come in two-hour and four-hour configurations, aimed at utilities, data centers, and large C&I customers.

  • Why it matters: Ford is betting its manufacturing muscle can translate from EVs to grid storage, with plans to invest roughly $2B over the next two years—and reach a 20 GWh yearly deployment target.
