Taiwan CTCI Contracted to Build First High-end EV Battery Factory, A Giant Leap for Clean Energy Development in Taiwan　
　

KAOHSIUNG, October 25, 2021- Leading engineering, procurement, and construction services company CTCI Corporation announced today that the company and subsidiary CTCI Smart Energy Corporation (CTCI SEC) are contracted by Molie Quantum Energy Corporation, part of Taiwan Cement Corporation (TCC) Group, to build in Kaohsiung a lithium battery factory, the first “gigafactory” of its kind in Taiwan. 

Located in Linhai Industrial Park, Siaogang District, the factory will mainly produce high-end, high-capacity, high rate charge/discharge lithium nickel cobalt aluminium oxides (NCA) electrical vehicle (EV) battery. Scheduled completion is in May 2023. 

Owing to its advanced manufacturing process and facility, the factory will have a yearly production capacity of 1.8GWh, equivalent to the production amount of long-range batteries for 24,000 EVs a year. This will significantly augment the nation’s market share for high-end EV battery manufacturing globally, help it to tap into the EV supply chain, and facilitate green energy development.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, CTCI Group Chairman John T. Yu stated, “Molie Quantum Energy Corporation of TCC is Taiwan’s largest lithium battery producer. The high-performance batteries (super batteries) it produces are able to support grid stability, safely store clean energy and can be applied in EVs and large energy storage systems—this is particularly important in that they play key roles in future high-tech development. At this critical moment of global energy transition to clean energy, CTCI is thrilled to have the opportunity to engage in project like this one to offer engineering expertise.”  

CTCI has been providing engineering services across Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. In recent years, it proactively seeks business opportunities to meet substantial growth in sustainable development and the high-tech industry worldwide and has built track records in the solar power, offshore wind power, energy storage, and plant constructions for the high-tech industries. Previously, it has secured an EPC service contract in the U.S for a major semiconductor company.
