Announcement on Tata Group plant… The owner of carmaker JLR is expected to announce that it will build an electric car battery gigafactory in the UK, backed with £500m in government funding… which would aim to produce 40 gigawatt hours (GWh) of batteries a year, enough to power hundreds of thousands of electric cars… An announcement on plans for a plant, which will be located in Somerset, is expected as soon as Wednesday…
Talks on a gigafactory had made progress in recent weeks, but there is still no agreement on parallel negotiations over tata’s steel plant in port talbut… The steelworks require investments worth £2bn or more to upgrade to new technology capable of producing steel without carbon emissions…
