Moxion Power will build an energy storage gigafactory in the US, which is designed to have a battery manufacturing capacity of more than 7 GWh. or around 10,000 mobile energy storage products, per year.
The 205,000-square-foot (19,045 sq m) facility, Moxion’s second, will be based at Terminal 3, an underutilized port terminal at the Port of Richmond, California, adjacent to its existing factory at the Ford Point Assembly Plant.
Moxion, a US mobile energy storage solutions provider, develops mobile batteries that can be charged with renewable energy. Its products are designed for industries that have historically relied on generators for temporary power, including construction, film, live events, disaster response, utilities and defense.
In March, Moxion inked a multi-million dollar purchase order to provide more than 600-MP-75/600 mobile battery units to construction equipment and tools provider Sunbelt Rentals over the next year.
Moxion has raised over $110 million in two fund-raisers and counts among its backers the Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund, Amazon Climate Pledge Fund, Marubeni Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, and Tamarack Global.
