The Volkswagen group is keen to increase the capacity of the Volkswagen battery gigafactory by 50% to supply third parties and manufacture batteries for large vehicles. The company’s executives announced giant factory “The first estimate of a generation capacity of 40 GWh has already been practically consumed” and opens the door to expansion to 60 GWh. The firm already has land planned for this expansion. Moreovermultinational company willing to supply batteries to the factory. Ford at Almussafes If ovalin were to bet on installing the combined cell the German group was developing in their electric vehicles.
Ciriaco Hildago, director of Government and Corporate Affairs at SEAT, announced at an event organized by PSOE in Madrid about the new image of the Valencian Community (attended by Salvador Navarro, president of the CEV employers’ association). gigafactory has practically exhausted its initial estimate of 40 GWh and will open potential towards 60 GWh”
Volkswagen’s initial idea was to build six gigafactories across Europe, each with a generating capacity of 40 GWh. The stated aim is to replicate the pattern of the first model built in Salzgitter, Germany, on the ground of a former engine factory devoted to parts production in recent years. The managers of the German firm had warned at the signing of the agreement with Generalitat on 21 July that the Sagunt plant had the advantage of starting from scratch (Parc Sagunt II country is virgin) over Salzgitter.
electrification program
Seat’s vice president of acquisitions and in charge of Volkswagen’s electrification program in Spain (Future: Fast Forward) was mentioned in an interview published yesterday by Alfonso Sancha. Economist He Salzgitter factory “as is brown area (project making use of an existing installation) is more limited (to increase its capacity), while Sagunt has the option to expand to 60 GWh as we provide the required land. depending on the development of volumes and if we start providing more reasons to third parties. It also depends on which models the cells are placed in. Big is not the same as small”. The first batteries from the Volkswagen gigafactory in Sagunt will equip three small electric car models that the company will produce at factories in Martorell (Barcelona) and Landaben (Navarre).
In the same interview, Sancha values the possibility of supplying batteries to the Ford plant in Almussafes (the German group already shares its electric car platform with the American company). “At PowerCo, we have a duty to supply cells to third parties. Whether we can supply the Almussafes plant right now will depend on the technology Ford decides to implement.. We have the combined cell type, and if the technology of the electric cars to be produced at Almussafes is adapted to this cell type, then we will certainly analyze it and be open to supply. to the other producers we’ve come to terms with,” Sancha said.
According to Ciriaco Hidalgo, Volkswagen evaluated 10 locations in Spain before choosing Sagunt. “We chose the Valencian Community for showing leadership, commitment, cooperation and even generosity in difficult moments of negotiation. President Ximo Puig himself showed a long-term vision. We are investing a large amount in the end and we have to speak the same language,” he said.
Consell facilitates land expropriations
Consell this Friday approved a decree that will accelerate the expropriation of land for strategic projects for the Valencian Community, such as the Volkswagen gigafactory. The new rule will also facilitate land expropriation for photovoltaic power plants, as Iberdrola will build a maximum of ten kilometers from Parc Sagunt to provide green energy to its battery plant.
Acquisition of this land through expropriation may mean that this land has become part of the public heritage, if the Consulate thinks so. In such a case, the agreement in which the strategic zone project is announced will offer the land to the developer through lease or surface right, for a rent or surface fee not less than the market price. The expert report has been prepared for this purpose.
According to Generalitat, the change responds to the current economic, climatic and geopolitical situation, as all major projects require the deployment of renewable energy in accordance with the change in energy model promoted by the regional government.
These projects, linked to photovoltaic parks for electricity self-consumption, need to activate important surfaces to be acquired.
