📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
To Build New state-of-the-art, technology-agnostic battery cell Gigafactory in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
Description:
Unveiling the mega plan for UAE, Statevolt working alongside various industry and community partners, it will implement the modular design approach, allowing for a faster route to market as well as a solution to diversify production based on technology readiness. The gigafactory is designed to set a new standard in battery technology with its superior safety and extended lifecycle, delivering battery solutions that are adaptable to a wide range of climates and conditions.
The factory will start by producing semi-solid state battery cells, with the aim to move to solid state battery cells once the project reaches full capacity. The Gigafactory embodies Carlstrom's vision of leveraging technological innovation for global energy transformation and local economic enhancement. According to Statevolt, this ambitious project, with a site spanning 60 hectares in Al Hamra Industrial Zone at Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (Rakez), is anticipated to generate up to 2,500 direct job opportunities, fostering significant economic development in Ras Al Khaimah and the surrounding region.
Moreover, it aligns with the UAE's strategic vision to become a leading hub for green technology and energy transition, reinforcing the country’s position as a leader in sustainable industrial development. The gigafactory, positioned to meet the surging global demand for ESS, crucial for stabilizing the grid, enhancing renewable energy integration, and improving energy efficiency, is strategically focused on key export markets such as Africa, India, the UAE, and the broader Middle East region.
With an expected annual production capacity of up to 40GWh upon full operation, Statevolt is well-positioned to address the growing need for sustainable energy management. These markets are increasingly pivotal, given their ambitious renewable energy targets and the essential role of energy storage in achieving these goals. Following the land agreement, Statevolt will be applying for building permits, and expects to have the first production line fully operative by the end of 2026.
