Lyten acquires Northvolt's Swedish and German assets, boosting battery production and energy independence efforts in Europe and North America.
Operations in Sweden are scaled back to focus on battery production, affecting 1,600 jobs. Support measures for impacted employees are in place, with ongoing union negotiations.
Fluor will handle engineering, procurement, and construction management for Phase One of a $4.8 billion lithium-ion battery factory in Germany, with completion set for 2027.
The EU approved a €902M German aid measure to support a battery plant in Heide, aiming to boost EV production and the green transition, while ensuring fair competition within the EU.
The new gigafactory in Heide will produce 60 GWh of lithium-ion batteries annually by 2025, creating 3,000 jobs and focusing on sustainability with clean energy and recycled materials.
The plant, operational by 2025, will produce 50 GWh of battery cells annually, support Volvo's electric car goals, and focus on sustainable production with fossil-free energy.
The first battery cell was assembled at the gigafactory in Skellefteå, marking a milestone. Production will scale up to 60 GWh annually by 2022, fulfilling contracts with major automotive and industrial clients.
The funding will boost battery cell production, R&D, and recycling. Northvolt plans to build more gigafactories in Europe, with potential sites in Germany, to meet growing demand for electric solutions.
