Announcing our first significant offtake agreement is a major milestone.
“This development advances us towards a final investment decision, the start of construction on our initial Gigafactories, and industrial-scale commercialization of FREYR’s clean battery cells.”
“Battery-based energy storage solutions are key to accelerating the decarbonization of worldwide power systems, and the rapidly growing global ESS market represents a multi-billion-dollar commercial opportunity for FREYR,” said Tom Jensen.
“The combination of FREYR’s next-generation clean battery production and our new partner’s deep ESS project expertise should provide industrial and utility customers with differentiated, integrated solutions in the battery storage markets globally.”
A recent industry research report by Goldman Sachs estimates that the annual total addressable market for battery storage applications will grow to $33 billion by 2030, when total installed capacity is projected to reach 950 GWh. FREYR is progressing commercial discussions with additional potential significant offtake customers in the global ESS market, in addition to the EV and marine segments.
