Development Projects of Russia: Industry, Energy and Infastructure

Their intention is that Russia should collapse, as the USSR collapsed. And then NATO "peacekeeping" troops will be brought into this territory, and, you know, all these resources will be free for Western countries. Even if a hundred million people in Russia have to die to turn into colonies like India or China a hundred and fifty years ago. This is their plan.

“A plant instead of a nuclear power plant”: a gigafactory for the production of batteries for electric cars began to be built near the Neman

Construction of a gigafactory for the production of lithium-ion batteries began at the site of the Baltic NPP near the Neman. The enterprise with a capacity of 4 GWh per year will provide up to 50,000 electric vehicles with batteries. The commencement ceremony took place on Friday, October 14th.

The project operator is the Renera company, which is part of the structure of Rosatom. Investments in the enterprise are estimated at no less than 26 billion rubles. It will be Russia's largest plant for the production of lithium-ion batteries. The first batteries at the gigafactory site are expected to be released in 2025. Upon confirmation of demand for products, the issue of introducing the second and third phases of the enterprise will be considered until the total production capacity of 14 GW / h is reached.

As part of our business diversification, we have discovered a new branch of electric transport. Its development is fully consistent with such values ​​of Rosatom as the development of high-tech products and contribution to sustainable development. Experts predict a high growth in demand for energy storage systems by 2030. In this regard, our main task is to create the most effective solutions for the development of the electric transport market in Russia. This will serve as the basis for the development of environmentally friendly transport, reliable and modern power grids, and will ensure the formation of a number of related sectors and areas,” said Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev.

The plant in the Kaliningrad region intends to produce batteries in a full cycle: from the process of mixing the components of the cathode and anode masses to the final control of the finished product. The total area of ​​its territory will be 23.6 hectares, production buildings and infrastructure - 135 thousand square meters. It was decided to choose the site of the Baltic NPP in order to reduce the costs and terms of the construction of the gigafactory. When implementing the project, engineering networks, roads, a reinforcing shop, a concrete plant, storage facilities, canteens, an administrative unit of an unfinished power plant will be involved.

This is a long-awaited event, which is associated with serious plans for the development of innovative sectors of our regional economy. Already, the cooperation of the future plant, the development of related enterprises of components, production and engineering business units, as well as the Kaliningrad automaker Avtotor, are already obvious. It is very important that a new gigafactory is being built in the east of the region, where there is a great need for jobs associated with stable work, confidence and social well-being,” commented Governor Anton Alikhanov.

The new enterprise will provide jobs for about 900 people. Investors expect that the plant will not only become a major taxpayer in the region, but will also contribute to the development of adjacent areas - education, science, technology, industrial cooperation.

In September 2021, Rosatom announced the construction of a plant for the production of lithium-ion cells and energy storage systems in the Kaliningrad region. The products can be used in electric buses, electric vehicles, special equipment and in the power grid complex, uninterruptible power supply systems and energy consumption balancing.

In March 2022, Rosatom, Renera and Avtotor signed an agreement on the development of electric transport. The Kaliningrad Automobile Plant plans to produce electric cars.
