E-Power Expands into Vietnam to Diversify Anode Supply Chain for AI Data Centers — E-Power Inc.

Event summary

E-Power Inc. plans to establish a production facility in Hung Yen Province, Vietnam, leveraging local origin certification for U.S. market access.
The company aims to achieve a 30% local value-added threshold to comply with international trade standards and gain potential U.S. ILA subsidies.
E-Power will integrate its top-3 global anode technology with ATSC SOLARTECH’s high-temperature CVD deposition and graphitization capabilities.
The project supports E-Power’s mission to provide integrated AI data center microgrid solutions, with a strategic focus on Southeast Asia and North America.

The big picture

E-Power’s expansion into Vietnam is a strategic response to the growing demand for resilient, 'Ex-China' supply chains in the energy storage and AI data center sectors. The move aligns with broader industry trends toward localization and diversification of critical material production, particularly as geopolitical tensions and trade policies continue to influence global manufacturing strategies.
