Stardust Power, a U.S. producer of battery-grade lithium carbonate, has announced that it has signed a letter of intent with a strategic partner to supply up to 15,000 metric tons per annum of lithium chloride feedstock, equivalent to lithium carbonate (LCE), to its Muskogee refinery in Oklahoma. The feedstock is sourced from a lithium brine project in California, with initial deliveries expected to start in the first half of 2028. The company may also purchase additional volumes at its own discretion as needed. It is currently advancing the pre-construction phase of the Muskogee lithium refinery, having completed the FEL-3 engineering study and obtained an air quality construction permit.

[SMM Analysis] In H1, the overflow of global utility-scale energy storage long-term contracts intertwined with the growing pains of production line upgrades. This not only completely shattered the cyclical pattern of "retreat after rapid rise" in the energy storage market, but also directly triggered a structural shortage and a strong price recovery for 314Ah battery cells. Furthermore, driven by the looming cancellation of tax rebates at year-end, an even more intense wave of "export rush" is gaining momentum, potentially pushing the full-year battle between volume and price to its peak.
