Cegasa Energía has announced plans to expand production capacity with a new line scheduled to start operating in February 2026 at a second site in Vitoria‑Gasteiz, Basque Country. The facility will have a capacity of 50 MWh per month (600 MWh per year) and is intended to strengthen the company’s position in the market for large‑scale battery‑storage systems.

One of the main drivers of the expansion is rising demand linked to funding programmes from the Spanish Institute for the Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE), co‑financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Cegasa Energía says these programmes have acted as a catalyst for growth.
Technology partnership with EVE Energy
As part of the expansion, Cegasa Energía has formed a technology partnership with EVE Energy, the world’s second‑largest producer of LFP cells for battery‑storage systems. The collaboration aims to strengthen supply security and reliability across the value chain and speed up the market launch of new BESS solutions.

At the same time, Cegasa Energía plans to retain full technological and operational control of its products. “This agreement allows us to expand quickly on a solid foundation, strengthening our role as a European manufacturer of BESS systems while continuing to develop local technology and production capacity,” said Iñigo Atutxa, CEO of Cegasa Energía.
Further expansion plans and first IDAE project
In view of expected market growth, the company is already planning two additional production lines by 2027. The aim is to raise total capacity to 1.8 GWh per year, further strengthening Cegasa Energía’s position as a European provider of energy‑storage solutions.
The first BESS system developed under the IDAE funding programme with ERDF support will be delivered in May 2026. The Burriana project in Castellón, undertaken in partnership with Corporate Solar Holding and Beavier Photo Power, will provide 40 MWh of storage capacity. (nhp)
