Where does Powin Energy source the inputs in this product?

This map traces 12 inputs across 3 countries, including 3 mines and refiners. It is compiled from public sources and is not an audited bill of materials.

How much of the Powin Energy supply chain sits in a covered nation?

10 of 12 mapped inputs are sited in a covered nation (China, Russia, Iran or North Korea) or named on a federal restricted-party list. A further 0 carry elevated sourcing risk without either basis.

Where does Powin Energy source its components?

United States. Supply chain mapped to 12 inputs across 3 countries.

Federal screeningClean

No federal designation found. Powin Energy is not named on any of the 3 federal restricted-party lists screened for this record (DOD Section 1260H, BIS Entity List, OFAC SDN List), and the United States is not a covered nation under the FEOC rules. Is Powin Energy a Foreign Entity of Concern?

Every mapped input in the Powin Energy supply chain

12 nodes, grouped by supply-chain tier. Sourcing risk describes where an input is mined or refined; it is not a FEOC determination for Powin Energy.

Producer (1)

Input	Origin	Sourcing risk	Basis
Powin EnergyTualatin / Greater Portland, Oregon, USA	United States	No known risk factor	US integrator of utility-scale BESS (Centipede/Pod platforms). Designs and assembles systems domestically but sources LFP cells almost entirely from Chinese makers.

Supplier (1)

Input	Origin	Sourcing risk	Basis
CATL / EVE / REPT / Hithium (cell manufacturers)China	China	Covered nation	Powin's diversified cell base is nearly all Chinese: CATL (primary), EVE Energy, REPT Battero (12GWh framework), Hithium (5GWh). All FEOC-prohibited entities.

Component (6)

Input	Origin	Sourcing risk	Basis
LFP Battery Cell (large-format prismatic)China	China	Covered nation	300-320Ah LFP cells supplied under multi-GWh deals with CATL, EVE Energy, REPT Battero and Hithium - all China-based. ~98% of global LFP cells are made in China.
LFP Cathode PowderChina (Hunan Yuneng, Dynanonic-type suppliers)	China	Covered nation	China produces >98% of LFP cathode material; ~70% from two firms. Beijing added iron-phosphate cathode tech to export-control list, deepening dependence.
Graphite Anode MaterialChina	China	Covered nation	China controls ~90% of anode production and ~98% of graphitization; ~93% of all graphite anode material and ~99% of spherical graphite. Under Chinese export controls.
Polyolefin SeparatorChina	China	Covered nation	Wet-process polymer separators for LFP cells; China holds the dominant share of global separator capacity co-located with cell production.
Electrolyte (LiPF6-based)China	China	Covered nation	China dominates LiPF6 salt and electrolyte formulation. Supplied alongside cell manufacturing.
Copper & Aluminum Foils / Current CollectorsChina	China	Covered nation	Al foil (cathode collector) and Cu foil (anode collector). China's foil market is >75% of global Li-ion cell capacity; carbon-coated Al foil leaders are Chinese.

Processing and refining (1)

Input	Origin	Sourcing risk	Basis
Lithium Refiner (battery-grade Li carbonate/hydroxide)China	China	Covered nation	~96% of Australian spodumene is exported to China for conversion; China does the majority of global lithium chemical refining. Refining location drives FEOC flag even for allied-mined ore.

Mine and extraction (2)

Input	Origin	Sourcing risk	Basis
Spodumene (hard-rock lithium ore)Western Australia (Greenbushes/Pilbara region)	Australia	No known risk factor	Australia mines ~53% of world lithium (spodumene concentrate). Mine is allied/clean, but downstream refining occurs in China (see refiner node).
Natural Graphite (flake) / Synthetic Graphite PrecursorChina	China	Covered nation	China produces >60% of mined natural graphite and ~half of synthetic graphite precursor (petroleum coke route), plus nearly all purification/spheronization.

Logistics (1)

Input	Origin	Sourcing risk	Basis
Trans-Pacific Cell/System LogisticsChina ports -> US West Coast	China	Covered nation	Finished cells shipped from Chinese cell plants to Powin US facilities for module/system assembly. Logistics itself is not FEOC-scored; flagged origin is upstream.

Sources and methodology

Research-based supply-chain map compiled from public sources - not an audited bill of materials. Tiers reflect the standard industry structure for this product. Sourcing risk on a node describes where that input is typically mined or refined; it is not a FEOC determination for Powin Energy, and it is not a screening result for the node itself unless a federal listing is cited against it. Verify against primary documentation before making a compliance determination.

Common questions

Where does Powin Energy source the inputs in this product?: This map traces 12 inputs across 3 countries, including 3 mines and refiners. It is compiled from public sources and is not an audited bill of materials.
How much of the Powin Energy supply chain sits in a covered nation?: 10 of 12 mapped inputs are sited in a covered nation (China, Russia, Iran or North Korea) or named on a federal restricted-party list. A further 0 carry elevated sourcing risk without either basis.
Is Powin Energy itself a Foreign Entity of Concern?: No federal designation found. Powin Energy is not named on any of the 3 federal restricted-party lists screened for this record (DOD Section 1260H, BIS Entity List, OFAC SDN List), and the United States is not a covered nation under the FEOC rules. Sourcing risk in this map describes where inputs are mined and refined and is a separate question from the company's own federal screening.
