NYSE: STN
Bringing advanced manufacturing and hundreds of jobs to British
Columbia, E-One Moli Energy is building a lithium-ion battery cell
manufacturing facility in the province. The CAN $1 billion
project will create up to 350 new jobs and secure over 100 existing
positions. Stantec, a global leader in industrial architecture and
sustainable design and engineering, was selected to provide a full
suite of services including planning, architecture, mechanical,
electrical, fire suppression, structural, industrial, ICT, civil,
geotechnical, and substation engineering, as well as interior
design, landscape architecture, sustainability consulting, building
commissioning, and environmental services.
Powered by British Columbia’s clean energy supply, the facility
will become the largest factory in Canada for high performance
lithium-ion battery cells, producing up to 135 million battery
cells each year.
Transition to a cleaner futureSupporting the
transition to cleaner, more efficient energy sources, the
lithium-ion battery cells produced will be used to electrify
devices used in our daily lives, including consumer electronics,
power tools, medical devices, high-performance vehicles, and
aerospace applications.
To support E-One Moli’s corporate mandate for a better and
cleaner future, the new facility is designed to target LEED Gold
and Net Zero Carbon certification. It will also include a
seven-story mass timber office, and research and development
component with a fully integrated green roof making it one of the
most sustainable industrial buildings in the region.
“We are honored to work with a socially-conscious partner like
E-One Moli who shares Stantec’s commitment to reducing global
greenhouse and CO2 levels for a cleaner tomorrow,” said Navid
Fereidooni, architect and principal for Stantec. “With a
substantial investment in efficient energy generation, this
transformative manufacturing space will bring opportunity and
growth to the people of British Columbia and the Canadian economy.
We are thrilled to be playing an important part in bringing this
project to life.”
Construction of the E-One Moli Energy manufacturing facility is
expected to begin in June 2024 and be fully operational in
2028.
