Malahat Nation takes the lead on a new state-of-the-art gigastorage factory on Vancouver Island
The Malahat Nation, in partnership with Energy Plug Technologies Corp, has started construction on a 100,000-square-foot battery energy storage manufacturing facility in Mill Bay, on Vancouver Island.
Announced earlier this year, work officially began last month following a ground blessing ceremony by the Nation’s Elders.
When complete, the facility will assemble five-kilowatt lithium iron phosphate battery packs for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial applications using cells imported from Taiwan.
