Today, July 8, marked the groundbreaking ceremony of AESC's future gigafactory for batteries in Navalmoral de la Mata, Cáceres. The plant is scheduled to begin production in 2026 and be among the first facilities to develop and manufacture advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries at scale throughout Europe. The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, attended the ceremony and stressed that "It is a project that will undoubtedly help to boost the region, not only helping to create hundreds of jobs in its initial phase but also because it positions Extremadura." AESC CEO for the United States and Europe, Knudt Flor, emphasized the gigafactory's long-term vision and its commitment to grow the electrification supply chain while providing state-of-the-art batteries. He highlighted the potential of the facility to promote technological and economic development locally, as well as to promote collaboration between different actors in the field of sustainable mobility and renewable energy. This gigafactory will become the first carbon-neutral gigafactory in Spain as a part of the Net Zero Industrial Park. It will have an investment of over 1 billion euros for its first phase while creating up to 900 direct jobs upon completion. #Battery #Gigafactory #Spain #AESC #EV #Sustainability
