We have got it all

It’s the three industrial giants Equinor, Hydro and Panasonic that are making plan for a battery factory in Norway, and many sites and municipalities are ready to welcome such a factory. There is a competition among Norwegian sites and municipalities to facilitate for the cell producing battery factory.

Equinor, Hydro and Panasonic have formed a consortium and are together behind building and operating the enormous factory.

The county has made a prospect sent to the consortium to promote all the sites and the municipalities in Vestland engaged in attracting the battery factory to their site.
