Group14 is building the world’s largest factory for advanced silicon battery material in Moses Lake, WA. BAM-2 is expected to produce thousands of tons of SCC55® annually and create hundreds of new jobs locally, laying the foundation for a more resilient American battery supply chain.
Reliable power is critical to our production process and vision for growth in Washington state. Our global customer base demands a reduced carbon footprint – hydropower provides both the clean energy and the reliable power we need to grow our industry, serve our customers, and grow the manufacturing industry in the Columbia Basin.
BAM-2 will significantly increase the supply of SCC55® to our customers worldwide, who represent 95% of worldwide rechargeable battery production.
BAM-2’s initial annual capacity will be 2,000 tonnes of SCC55®, equivalent to 10-gigawatt-hours — enough to power millions of products per year, from AI-enabled devices to electric vehicles, eVTOLS, and grid applications. The site can hold an additional five modules, which we plan to bring online as quickly as possible to help meet surging demand for silicon batteries.
Our employee headcount in Moses Lake is nearing 200—most of whom are local to Grant County. We’re continuing to grow, and are looking for talent in construction, engineering, operations, and more roles.
Yes – the SCC55® material produced at BAM-2 will be available to customers anywhere in the world.
