Rosatom’s Fuel Division, managed by TVEL, has launched pilot production at Russia’s ?rst lithiumion energy storage factory, ‘gigafactory’ in the Kaliningrad Region.
the facility marks a major step toward ensuring Russia’s technological independence in advanced energy storage technologies. With an annual production capacity of 4 gigawatthours, the gigafactory is the country’s only large-scale facility producing lithiumion batteries.
it covers the full production cycle, from cell chemistry to ?nished modules and complete battery systems. At full capacity, the plant can produce approximately 1.5 million charging modules or 50,000 traction batteries annually for electric vehicles.
energy storage systems are a rapidly growing sector, used in electric cars, buses, trucks, industrial equipment, logistics, mining, and power infrastructure.
they also support uninterrupted power supply, load balancing, and electricity cost optimization.
