The Provincial Secretariat for Urban Planning and Environmental Protection has approved the urban project for the construction of a production complex for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries on parcel number 36916/1 in the Donji Grad cadastral municipality of Subotica.
The project investor is Elevenes d.o.o. from Subotica. The project was designed by Kubarch doo Subotica, with the conceptual design signed by North Engineering from the same city.
The project complies with the General Regulation Plan for the Aleksandrovo zone in Subotica, as well as all applicable spatial and urban planning laws and regulations.
As previously reported by eKapija, the first factory of this kind in Europe is planned to be built on a 178,001 m² parcel in the Donji Grad cadastral area of Subotica. The conceptual design includes construction of a mega factory for LFP battery production, a flammable materials warehouse, an energy block (transformer station, cooling plant, and boiler room), a canopy for waste, underground sprinkler tanks with a fire hydrant and pumping station, and a heated connection between the administrative building and the factory.
The planned annual production capacity of the mega factory is 1 GWh.
The factory will produce LFP (lithium iron phosphate) prismatic cells with side tabs (so-called blade type), which contain no nickel or cobalt. These batteries are widely used in stationary energy storage systems (wind, solar, etc.) as well as in electric vehicles including A, B, and C segment cars, buses, trucks, and work machines.
