Overview
- The full‑cycle facility in the Nemansky district has a rated capacity of 4 GWh per year, enough for up to 50,000 electric‑vehicle batteries, with equipment capable of producing about one cell per second.
- The project combines a 5 billion‑ruble low‑interest loan from the Industrial Development Fund, 5 billion rubles from the Kaliningrad regional government, and a special investment contract setting project parameters.
- Initial staffing stands at 334 specialists with plans to scale to roughly 1,200–1,500 jobs at full capacity.
- Kaliningrad Oblast will invest 1.5 billion rubles over three years in social infrastructure in the nearby towns of Neman and Sovetsk.
- Officials say the plant’s storage systems will help balance renewable generation as Russia’s energy‑storage market, reported to have grown fivefold in four years, continues to expand.
