3,000 jobs would be created directly at Swedish battery cell manufacturer Northvolt, with another 10,000 expected in the vicinity of the factory.
Federal economy and climate protection minister Robert Habeck said, “Today is a good day for the west coast and for Germany as an industrial centre. The start of construction in Heide shows that the transformation towards climate neutrality and growth go hand in hand if the will is there and the framework conditions are right.
“The Northvolt project is a beacon example of how we can positively shape the environmentally and climate-friendly transformation of our value chains.”
