Based in Sunderland, North East England, the AESC UK battery plant plays an integral role in our commitment to growth, quality, and innovation alongside over 500 employees who work within it. The Sunderland plant, operational since 2012, is Europe’s first and the UK’s only EV battery factory for over a decade, with an annual capacity of 1.8 GWh.
The Sunderland plant, operational since 2012, is Europe’s first and the UK’s only EV battery factory for over a decade, with an annual capacity of 1.8 GWh. In July 2021, AESC announced the construction of AESC’s second Sunderland battery plant, which will be the UK’s largest gigafactory.
The supply chain for current pack production has around 40% local battery components, which the JV plans to increase as cell production is localised. A supplier park is located close to the plant for component and other processing; there is also access to local nickel and cobalt raw materials.
In July 2021, AESC announced the construction of AESC’s second Sunderland battery plant, which will be the UK’s largest gigafactory. When operational, it will have a capacity of 15.8 GWh and employ more than 1,000 people. This represents a six-fold increase in UK electric vehicle battery production.
UKIB CEO John Flint said: “A domestic battery supply chain will play an important role in the UK’s transition to net zero and also the wider economy, as highlighted in the government’s recently published battery strategy. “Gigafactories are an essential part of that supply chain.
The plant in Turkey began production in March 2023 with an initial 8 gigawatts hours (GWh) annual capacity to produce battery modules and packs, which will increase to 20 GWh by 2026, when local battery cell production is planned to start.
