EnerVenue has launched a high-volume production line for its nickel-hydrogen Aqueous Metal Cell (AMC) at its facility in Wujin, Changzhou, China. Construction began in April, with the first conforming cell produced in late September. The plant spans 20,000 square meters and is designed for full automation, capable of producing approximately 300 fourth-generation cells daily.
The current production capacity is rated at 250 MWh annually, with plans to scale to 1 GWh by 2027 and reach multi-gigawatt-hour levels by 2028. The facility includes space for a second phase of equal size. EnerVenue developed its own manufacturing equipment, incorporating automated guided vehicles and a vision-based electrode stacking system, with each cell undergoing 41 quality checks.
The AMC technology utilizes nickel-hydrogen chemistry, which is water-based, non-flammable, and contains no lithium or rare earth materials. The cells are designed for 30,000 cycles over a 30-year lifespan. The production line supports four product lines, including the 30 kWh Energy Core, 108 kWh Energy Cube, 150 kWh Energy Rack, and the Energy Prism, which scales from 600 kWh to 1 MWh.
The company secured its first commercial order for 26 Energy Prism containers, totaling 11 MWh, for an oilfield operator in northern China, with shipments starting in December. Previous deployments include a project with Towngas in Changzhou, and the company has shipped units to the US, Belgium, and Saudi Arabia. The facility was funded by a $300 million Series B extension led by Full Vision Capital.
