Gdańsk, Poland – Lyten’s new Dwa Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Manufacturing Facility, one of the largest BESS production sites in Europe. The site offers approximately 6 GWh of annual capacity, expandable up to 12 GWh.

The Northvolt Dwa acquisition accelerates Lyten’s entry in the rapidly growing BESS market. The Gdańsk location will serve as a major EU hub for Lyten’s BESS manufacturing and will export products to countries throughout the EU and across the world. Lyten intends to initiate the restart process immediately and to produce first commercial units off the line prior to year-end 2025.

“The Northvolt Dwa facility in Gdańsk is a world-class asset servicing the rapidly growing and strategically important BESS market. As demand for electricity continues its rise throughout the world to support AI and economic development, distributed energy storage will become increasingly critical,” said Dan Cook, Lyten CEO and Co-Founder. “We are seeing demand from across the world and are restarting production immediately to begin fulfilling orders before the end of the year.”

Lyten acquired Northvolt’s BESS product portfolio and intellectual property in the third quarter 2025. The first product to be produced at Northvolt Dwa is the Voltpack Mobile System (VMS). The 3^rd generation family of modular BESS products is optimized for the rapidly growing commercial, industrial, and evolving data center markets.

Robert Chryc-Gawrychowski was recently announced as CEO of Lyten Poland and will lead operations at Northvolt Dwa. Robert was previously CEO of Northvolt Poland and led Northvolt’s efforts in Poland through the planning, construction, and startup of Northvolt Dwa.

Robert stated, “BESS is now a critical technology for energy security and economic development, and it is increasingly important that Europe is able to manufacture batteries locally. We are appreciative of the support of this acquisition by the Polish government at the city, provincial and national level and for their shared enthusiasm for Gdańsk as an important BESS hub for Europe.”

Andrzej Domański, Poland Minister of Finance and Economy, stated, “Lyten’s operations in Gdańsk are part of a broader process of developing advanced energy technologies in Poland and across Europe. International cooperation in this field supports knowledge transfer, innovation, and the growth of local industrial expertise. We support projects that contribute to building a sustainable and competitive economy.”

Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, President of Gdańsk, added, “For Gdańsk, Lyten's activities represent an opportunity to collaborate on the creation of energy innovation centers. We see many opportunities for cooperation – from research and development partnerships with universities, through pilot projects, to other activities aligned with Gdańsk's development strategy and national and regional economic specializations.

On August 7^th, Lyten announced binding agreements to acquire all remaining Northvolt operations in Sweden, Poland, and Germany, with manufacturing assets totaling approximately $5 billion in book value. Close of the remaining Sweden and Germany acquisitions are expected to continue through the 4Q 2025.
