Northvolt to build battery factory in Germany

The Heide plant, which will feature a battery recycling center, will be Northvolt’s third—and its first outside Sweden—when it opens in 2025. The location was chosen largely because Heide has surplus electricity generated by onshore and offshore wind power, Northvolt says.
