PowerCo Nears Year-End Milestone at Sagunto Gigafactory With Cleanroom Installation Underway

Equipment installation starts early 2026 to prepare for first-cell production by late September 2026.

Overview

  • PowerCo says civil works for the first production block and the inbound and outbound logistics buildings will be completed before Christmas 2025.
  • The plant is installing 17 cleanrooms totaling 57,000 square meters, with large dehumidification units designed to hold air moisture below 1%.
  • Around 1,400 people are currently on site, including 300 PowerCo employees, and the company plans to recruit roughly 500 skilled workers during 2026.
  • The factory is engineered for flexible cell chemistries, beginning with LFP and later enabling NMC, sodium and solid-state technologies.
  • PowerCo reports more than half of the investment for civil works and equipment is already committed, with Valencian firms executing about 35% of the civil works.
