New facility will quadruple
Invinity UK manufacturing capability ahead of launch of
next-generation product
Invinity Energy Systems plc (AIM:
IES) (AQSE: IES) (OTCQX: IESVF), a leading
global manufacturer of utility-grade energy
storage, is pleased to announce that it has
leased an additional manufacturing facility in order to meet the
growing demand for long-duration energy storage in the
UK.
The 26,000 sq. ft (2,415
m2) facility located in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire is
c.6 times the size of the Company's existing facility in Bathgate,
West Lothian and is expected to increase the Company's UK assembly
capacity to over 500 MWh per year. The new Motherwell facility will
be primarily focussed on battery assembly, allowing Invinity's
existing facility in Bathgate to focus on the manufacture of the
Company's patented cell stack.
Invinity expects the Motherwell
facility will become operational during Q3 2024 enabling the
faster, more efficient delivery of certain projects within the
Company's commercial pipeline in the near term. The Company also
plans to undertake upgrades to its Bathgate facility later this
year including the installation of a semi-automated production
line, anticipated to further boost manufacturing capacity and
contribute to a greater reduction in unit production
costs.
This development represents
important progress for Invinity as the Company bolsters its
delivery capability to match expected future commercial activity.
This manufacturing expansion is in line with Invinity's growth
strategy set out as part of the successful £57m fundraise which
completed on 24 May and included a £25m investment into Invinity by
UK Infrastructure Bank.
Larry Zulch, Chief Executive Officer
at Invinity said:
"We are seeing the market for Long
Duration Energy Storage in the UK expanding dramatically alongside
increasing dependence on renewable energy. As the UK's leading
domestic energy storage manufacturer, we are looking forward to
serving the country's energy storage requirements with batteries
made in Britain. Quadrupling our UK manufacturing footprint is a
big step forward in this direction."
