Northvolt assembles first lithium-ion battery cell at Swedish gigafactory
There's an estimate 10 000MW additional requirement of power for Swedish Industry (3000MW surplus in the north):- The Swedish fossil-free steel (& Direct-Reduced Iron) manufacture (9000 MW)- Amazon/google/microsoft datacenters (2000 MW)- Conversion to electric cars (1000 MW, currently 128MW)..- This gigafactory (?MW 50GW Capacity)The Swedish government plan on solving these needs with Wind turbines (Currently 7000MW capacity), which this weekend was at 1.4% capacity due to no winds.How is that going to work, do they plan on shutting down production when there's no wind?EDIT: If you're going to downvote, please explain why, these numbers are not made-up, they are public:Live stats: https://www.svk.se/om-kraftsystemet/kontrollrummet/Capacity: https://svenskvindenergi.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Stat...Steel: https://dagenslogistik.se/h2-green-steal-satsar-pa-vatgaspro...Gigafactory: https://northvolt.com/articles/first-cell/Average data-center consumption 100-200MW.
