Lyten has finalized its acquisition of Northvolt Dwa, the largest battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing facility in Europe, located in Gdańsk, Poland. The 25,000-square-meter site, which opened in 2023, is equipped for an initial 6 GWh of annual energy storage production, with the potential to scale to 12 GWh. Lyten plans to restart manufacturing and product development immediately, targeting delivery of the first commercial units before the end of 2025.
“The Northvolt Dwa facility in Gdańsk is a world-class asset servicing the rapidly growing and strategically important BESS market. As demand for electricity continues its rise throughout the world to support AI and economic development, distributed energy storage will become increasingly critical,” said Dan Cook, Lyten CEO and Co-Founder. “We are seeing demand from across the world and are restarting production immediately to begin fulfilling orders before the end of the year.”
In the third quarter of 2025, Lyten acquired Northvolt’s BESS product portfolio and related intellectual property. The first product slated for production in Gdańsk is the third-generation Voltpack Mobile System (VMS), a modular BESS family designed for commercial, industrial and data center applications.
Robert Chryc-Gawrychowski, recently appointed CEO of Lyten Poland and former Northvolt Poland chief executive, will lead the Gdańsk operations. “BESS is now a critical technology for energy security and economic development,” he said, noting strong support from city, provincial and national authorities in Poland. Andrzej Domański, Poland’s minister of finance and economy, added that the acquisition strengthens local expertise and encourages innovation in advanced energy technologies. Gdańsk Mayor Aleksandra Dulkiewicz highlighted opportunities for collaboration with universities and pilot projects aligned with regional development strategies.
On August 7, Lyten announced binding agreements to acquire Northvolt assets in Sweden and Germany, representing approximately $5 billion in manufacturing book value. These transactions are scheduled to close by the fourth quarter of 2025.
