McKinsey & Co. has identified batteries as one of Norway's principal potential green industries in the future. According to the consultancy, a rapid and broad strengthening of all parts of the battery value chain is needed to satisfy the global battery shortage.
Nordic Batteries announces it is entering into a strategic partnership with Morrow Batteries and Eldrift to develop complete battery packs for mobile and stationary battery energy storage solutions (BESS). The overall project and product pipeline amounts to 7 GWh until 2030.
With its Industry 4.0 initiative, Nordic Batteries builds a fully automated agile battery assembly plant. The pilot plant is developed in the BATNET-project and will be operational Q1 24. The company has locations in Kongsberg and Høvik outside Oslo.
The new industry in Norway related to batteries promises economic growth, up to 30’000 jobs, regional development, and technological innovation. In its latest climate action plan, the government identified industries along the battery supply chain as key to ‘green growth'.
Several companies are planning to build battery cell Gigafactories in Norway. Although the emerging industry is promising new ‘green’ economic growth for the oil-dependent country, it is reliant on lithium and other raw materials that are extracted elsewhere.
The company has secured a delivery agreement for 5.5 gigawatt hours (GWh) over seven years with Nordic Batteries, which builds customised storage solutions. The first months will be spent tweaking the process, improving quality and get to a stable production of battery cells, he added.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
