Australia’s first lithium-ion battery manufacturer, Energy Renaissance, has been given additional funding for its pilot manufacturing facility in the Hunter.
Not-for-profit, Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC) has pitched in more than $525,000 to help develop the processes and workforce skills that will build the company’s superStorage batteries.
The sum will go towards a $1.48 million project to fast-track the development of a manufacturing line and trained workforce for Renaissance One.
The 4,400 square metre battery manufacturing facility in Tomago is slated for completion in February 2022.
The batteries produced there are expected to have a range of applications including electricity grids and renewables, mining, community storage, buses and industrial vehicles.
