La planta producirá baterías para vehículos eléctricos y aumentará significativamente el empleo local
A finales de la semana pasada, altos cargos españoles y representantes del Grupo Volkswagen se reunieron en la ciudad valenciana de Sagunto para anunciar un gran proyecto para la construcción de la primera gigafactoría del país allí. La instalación producirá baterías para coches eléctricos para abastecer a la industria automovilística española en Cataluña y Navarra, creando un auténtico ecosistema industrial moderno.
Se estima que la fábrica comenzará a construirse en los primeros cuatro meses de 2023, y en 2024 comenzará la instalación de los equipos. En 2025 esperan iniciar la producción de las primeras muestras fabricadas en serie antes de poner la planta en pleno funcionamiento en 2026.
La gigafactoría se ubicará en el antiguo polígono industrial Parc Sagunt II, lo que apunta a un bienvenido resurgimiento de la actividad manufacturera en la ciudad portuaria, que ha experimentado largos períodos de declive. Junto con Parc Sagunt I, el sitio forma el parque industrial más grande de Europa.
“España tenía una deuda moral con Sagunto tras la conversión. Hace justo un siglo se inició la construcción del Alto Horno, que aún se puede ver. Hoy vivimos otra revolución industrial”, ha declarado Ximo Puig, presidente de la Generalitat Valenciana. Aseguró que el día de la presentación fue un día “que va a cambiar la vida de miles de valencianos”.
La planta que se espera emplee a más de 3.000 personas directamente y hasta 12.000 indirectamente. La gigafábrica servirá así como base para los vehículos eléctricos de SEAT en Barcelona y Volkswagen en Navarra. La iniciativa será una de las seis previstas por Volkswagen para Europa y podrá generar hasta 40 GWh, lo que equivale a 800.000 unidades al año.
En cuanto a la energía que alimentará la gigafábrica de baterías, entre un 20% y un 30% procederá de una nueva planta solar que la energética española Iberdrola va a instalar en las cercanías, con una superficie inicial de 240 hectáreas y un coste cercano a los 500 millones de euros.
