Rabat – Gotion High-Tech has announced plans to allocate €1.28 billion toward the development of a cutting-edge lithium battery production facility in Morocco.
According to Echemi, a global B2B platform for the chemical industry, the phased development of the project over the next five years reflects Morocco’s growing prominence as a center for green energy innovation and its strategic position in the global shift toward sustainable energy.
Gotion High-Tech’s decision to establish a lithium battery production facility in Morocco is driven by the country’s robust industrial base and strategic location, offering seamless access to both European and African markets.
The €1.28 billion facility, with an annual production capacity of 20GWh, will focus on producing high-performance batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems, meeting growing demand locally and internationally.
The project, managed by Gotion Power Morocco S.A.—a subsidiary established in July 2024—aims to strengthen Gotion’s global supply chain and enhance its competitiveness in the international battery market. This initiative aligns with Morocco’s vision to position itself as a leader in renewable energy and advanced manufacturing.

Beyond production, the investment is expected to generate significant economic benefits for Morocco, including job creation, technology transfer, and the development of the local industrial ecosystem.
In addition to its investment in Morocco, Gotion High-Tech is undertaking an around €1.24 billion project in Slovakia to establish the country’s first battery super factory in partnership with Slovak manufacturer InoBat.
The facility, with an annual production capacity of 20GWh, is expected to begin trial production in 2026 and reach full operation by 2027, catering primarily to the European market.
The investments in Morocco and Slovakia form integral parts of Gotion’s global expansion strategy, strengthening its presence in North Africa and Europe—two critical regions for the global energy transition.
Together, the €2.5 billion projects aim to address the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions while diversifying the company’s production network to mitigate risks from shifting global trade dynamics.
In Morocco, the facility is set to act as a vital link between Africa and Europe, bolstering Gotion’s role in the global supply chain. Meanwhile, the Slovak facility will focus on supporting the European Union’s green energy objectives by providing a localized supply of high-performance power batteries.
As the facility takes shape, it is expected to boost Gotion’s global competitiveness while reinforcing Morocco’s status as a key player in renewable energy. This project has the potential to attract additional investments and foster innovation in green technology within the region.
