Company Overview

Elinor Batteries plans to build a large-scale battery manufacturing facility in Orkland, Mid-Norway, near Trondheim. The company was founded to advance sustainable production methods and environmental responsibility. It intends to manufacture batteries for the European energy storage market using 100% renewable energy and Nordic mineral resources. Production is set to start in 2026, with an annual capacity of 40 GWh (equivalent to supplying batteries for 800,000 electric vehicles) and a EUR 3 billion investment by 2030, creating thousands of jobs in the region.

Battery Technology

Elinor Batteries specializes in Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology, eliminating cobalt and nickel to reduce environmental impact. Manufacturing processes leverage advanced techniques from a partnership with Morlus Technology. The facility will operate on 100% renewable energy, and collaboration with SINTEF has produced initial battery cells at the Trondheim laboratory. Batteries are designed for stationary energy storage applications such as building energy management, industrial power, EV charging stations, marine use, grid frequency regulation, and microgrids.

Products

Initial LFP battery cells produced in partnership with SINTEF are tailored for stationary energy storage. Products target applications in building energy management systems, industrial power solutions, EV charging stations, marine applications, grid frequency regulation, and microgrid construction, offering sustainable, cobalt- and nickel-free energy storage with advanced cell chemistry and renewable-powered manufacturing.

Recent Projects

In late 2024, Elinor Batteries partnered with Stella Futura to secure 100 MWh of BESS installations in 2025 and targets 5 GWh of total installed capacity by 2030. The company also initiated test production of battery cells with SINTEF at the Trondheim laboratory.

Investors

Elinor Batteries is primarily funded by Valinor, a Norwegian green investment firm, with undisclosed investment amounts. Morlus Technology provides technical expertise through a strategic partnership but is not an investor.
