About the BAM-2 PROJECT
We're Building Group14's Million Sq-ft BAM Factory in Moses Lake
Group14 Technologies, a global manufacturer and supplier of advanced silicon battery technology, is constructing a one-million-square-foot Battery Active Materials (BAM) factory in Moses Lake, WA in support of domestic efforts to advance the EV market and power consumer electronics, aviation, and countless end-market applications.
BAM-2 will serve as an economic and community anchor, opening up more than 600 new jobs in construction, manufacturing, R&D, and operations to start.
BAM-2 will begin with two large-scale manufacturing modules, each capable of delivering 2,000 tons per year of SCC55™. The production lines for the first module are expected to come online and begin manufacturing SCC55™ for customers in 2024.
Simultaneously, Group14 expects to continue to build additional modules and complete our first six modules by 2025. Built to run on renewable energy in the form of Washington state’s abundant hydropower, the factory will be part of a larger Group14 campus as the company expands its footprint in Moses Lake. Group14 is helping transform Moses Lake into America's battery materials hub that will power the clean energy economy.
