Waaree Solar Americas Inc., a subsidiary of India’s Waaree Energies Limited, announced an additional $200 million investment into its U.S. operations, with a strong focus on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The announcement was made during the SelectUSA Investment Summit hosted by the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington, D.C.
This latest investment brings Waaree’s total U.S. commitment to $1.2 billion by 2028, up from the previously pledged $1 billion. The company aims to enhance its technological capabilities and accelerate the widespread adoption of affordable, clean energy solutions across the country.
Dr. Amit Paithankar, Wholetime Director and CEO of Waaree Energies Limited, emphasized the strategic value of the move. “The energy sector’s vast potential and the increasing demand for reliable, cost-effective solutions led us to deepen our U.S. investment. Battery storage is essential for the future of clean energy, and we’re proud to help drive that transformation while supporting local economies.”
The expansion is projected to create 300 to 500 new jobs, adding to the 1,500 previously announced roles. In total, the initiative is expected to generate up to 2,000 jobs, bolstering local employment and contributing to long-term economic development.
Waaree’s decision to expand in the U.S. stems from the country’s dynamic energy market, leadership in AI and data centers, and growing demand for stable power infrastructure. The company’s technology-forward strategy aligns well with these trends, especially as solar energy remains the cheapest and fastest-deploying source of power.
In parallel, Waaree Solar Americas is expanding its solar module manufacturing facility in Brookshire, Texas, doubling its capacity from 1.6 GW to 3.2 GW. This facility is central to Waaree’s goal of supporting a solar-powered, energy-independent future for the U.S.
Waaree continues to strengthen its position as a global clean energy leader, with a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and local impact.
