The production capacity of the industrial site is four gigawatt–hours per year (the total capacity of manufactured devices). This is the only large-scale industrial production of full-cycle lithium-ion batteries in the country, from primary chemistry for the battery cell to the creation of final modules and complete batteries.
"The launch of the Kaliningrad Gigafactory is an industrial breakthrough for Russia and a huge contribution to the foundation of national technological sovereignty. Energy storage is an end-to-end technology in Rosatom's portfolio of new non-nuclear businesses, which allows for the formation of entire production chains and product ecosystems. This is both a lithium production chain from the extraction of natural raw materials to the disposal of spent batteries, and industrial cooperation in the new business area of “Electromobility”. Despite the fact that Gigafactory is a large enterprise unique to the country, it was built and commissioned on schedule, including thanks to effective state support measures from the Kaliningrad Region, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and development institutions," said Alexey Likhachev, CEO of Rosatom State Corporation.
