Good news at last. But progress still slow.
Morrow Batteries, founded in 2014, has finally opened its first 1 GWh factory after ten years and $206 million in investment. The factory will produce LFP batteries—nothing revolutionary, but solid progress for an EU battery industry that's been starved for good news.
Unlike the fast-paced, high-risk approach of Northvolt, Morrow is taking its time—slow, deliberate steps. This first 1 GWh plant seems to be more about testing production processes and ironing out any inconsistencies in speed and quality rather than rushing to market.
Morrow aims to scale up to 43 GWh by 2028. But given the company’s glacial pace, it wouldn’t be surprising if this milestone gets pushed to 2038. Here’s hoping they prove me wrong.
