Cancelled

SVOLT Lauchhammer is SVOLT's batteries and solar project at Lauchhammer, Germany.

Why it matters

It will not be built.

  • SVOLT Lauchhammer was cancelled on 27 May 2024. as of 2024-05-27
  • It was to be at Lauchhammer, Germany. as of 2024-05-28
  • It uses gigafactory-scale cell manufacturing. as of 2024-05-28
  • No committed public money is on file for it. as of 2024-05-28

Where SVOLT Lauchhammer is

SVOLT Lauchhammer is cancelled, and this register holds no position for it. It was to be at Lauchhammer, Germany; the works was never placed to the precision a mark on a picture would claim, and looking for one was not thought worth doing on a project that stopped.

LOCATION NOT SOUGHT: PROJECT CANCELLED. The perimeter asks for a site the company has confirmed and a citable source can place, and the second half is research that only pays for itself on a works somebody might visit. SVOLT bought the former Vestas rotor-blade works and never converted it, and no basemap feature carries either name; the only address for the site comes from commercial directories, which are not a source type this register admits. What would be bought by finding the parcel is a dot a reader would take for a building. The absence is recorded as a decision rather than left as a gap: this register looks for a position on projects that are being built, and says so where it has not looked.

  • 2022-09-09AnnouncedSVOLT's own press release of 9 September 2022, filed from the Internet Archive: the company 'will build another battery cell factory for the European market in Lauchhammer', on the former Vestas rotor-blade site it had taken over at the end of August. No capacity in the release.source
  • 2024-05-27CancelledSVOLT will not build in Lauchhammer. The company gave a re-evaluated location strategy, a volatile automotive market, missing planning and legal certainty, and a large customer project that would not be realised. THE COMPANY RELEASE ITSELF COULD NOT BE FETCHED: svolt-eu.com/presse/svolt-europe-reagiert-auf-aktuelle-marktentwicklungen/ is in the Internet Archive's index for 30 May 2024 and the capture is a 404 — the Archive reached the URL after the page was gone. So the statement is carried through reporting that quotes it, and said to be.source

Technology and measures

  • Gigafactory-scale cell manufacturingcommercialElectrode coating, cell assembly and formation run at gigawatt-hour scale on one site. It is the process node rather than a chemistry: the same lines make several chemistries, and what decides whether Europe has cells is whether the lines exist and yield, not which cathode runs through them.

Funding

No public capital recorded for this project.
