Ambrosia Energy has announced the construction of a 10 gigawatt-hour battery factory near Austin, Texas, as revealed by co-founder and CEO Ben Longmier at TechCrunch Disrupt. The facility, covering 150,000 square feet, aims to achieve full production within two to three years, enabling the company to build approximately 300 megawatt power plants annually.
This development is significant as it positions Ambrosia Energy to provide cost-effective power solutions for off-grid data centers, with a target cost of $100 per megawatt-hour. The factory will support the company's strategy of utilizing solar power combined with battery storage to ensure continuous operation of data centers, even during non-sunny periods. The startup's innovative approach aims to reduce costs by simplifying components and manufacturing them in-house.
Looking ahead, Ambrosia Energy is also set to begin work on its first commercial power plant in West Texas, which will integrate solar panels and battery storage to deliver continuous power. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
