Plans to build one of Europe’s largest electric vehicle battery cell plants have fallen through. Ford’s partnership with LG Energy Solutions (LGES) and Koç Holding is scrapping plans to produce EV battery cells in the region, citing the “current pace of EV adoption.”
Campaigners have slammed plans to build one of the largest battery storage facilities in Europe on their doorstep as "outrageous". Energy company Statera proposed building 900 storage containers on 26 acres of land in the village of Granborough, Buckinghamshire.
Eleven out of 16 planned European-led battery factories have been delayed or canceled, according to a Bloomberg News analysis. Meanwhile, 10 of 13 projects in the region by Asian manufacturers such as China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. and South Korea’s Samsung SDI are on track.
One promising option is to turn old fossil power plants into battery storage sites. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are the mainstay of the net-zero transition. They don't emit greenhouse gases, so the more they replace fossil fuels like coal and gas the closer we come to net-zero emissions.
LGES also supplies batteries from its Poland plant for the Ford Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit. The battery giant said the three partners mutually agreed to drop the plans due to the “current pace of consumer electrification adoption.”
The average battery storage facility holds 80MW but capacity is ramping up. The government said technologies such as electric batteries could save consumers up to £10bn per year by 2050 while supporting up to 24,000 jobs. Plans have been submitted for a 500MW facility the size of 26 football pitches, called East Claydon Storage, near the village.
