Amprius’ State-of-the-Art Gigawatt-Hour Scale Factory in Colorado Passes Major Milestone

Amprius On Track to Operationalize its Growth Engine to Serve Strong Customer Demand for High-Performance Silicon Anode Lithium-Ion Batteries and Fuel the Electric Mobility MarketFREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amprius Technologies, Inc. (“Amprius” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AMPX), a leader in next-generation lithium-ion batteries with its Silicon Anode Platform, today announced that the Brighton City Council approved an ordinance to rezone an approximately 103 acre site, including an existing 1,278,455 square foot facility, to allow, among other matters, the Company to manufacture its next-generation lithium-ion batteries. This marks a significant milestone clearing the path for Amprius to establish its state-of-the-art gigawatt-hour scale factory site to meet growing customer demand.
"This approval from the Brighton City Council marks an important step towards our goal to begin operations at Amprius Fab in the first half of 2025,” said Dr. Kang Sun, Chief Executive Officer of Amprius. “Establishing the first silicon anode battery production facility in Brighton, Colorado, represents a pivotal milestone for the United States in building a local ecosystem that advances electric mobility. We thank the City of Brighton staff and City Council for all their dedicated work and efforts in handling the rezoning application. Additionally, we extend our appreciation to the community members who participated in the process.”
With this project, Amprius aims to repurpose a significant portion of Colorado’s largest single-story industrial building and transform it into a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility. This factory site is expected to greatly increase Amprius’ manufacturing capacity, with an initial 500 megawatt-hours (MWh) and the potential of up to 5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) available within the existing footprint. The projected timeline for the factory site is between 18–24 months.
