Today\u2019s announcement from Northvolt is very sad news for Skellefte\u00e5. Our expectations now are that it is more crucial than ever for national actors to take crucial actions to ensure that talent and battery production stays in Sweden, that new owners are in place as soon as possible and for production to be upheld during this time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

– This is a hard day for Skellefte\u00e5. After today\u2019s annoucentment my thoughts are first and foremost with the people who are affected, directly or indirectly. My thoughts are of course also on what a tremendous loss it would be on a local, national and European level if we lose the critical talent that is amassed here. Because it\u2019s important to underscore that what affects Skellefte\u00e5 in the short run affects Sweden and Europe a lot harder. In the end, it\u2019s about Europe\u2019s competitiveness. In this situation, we expect the government and national actors to increase their commitment to ensure talent retention and European battery production. This is not something a municipal government can or should do on their own, says Lorents Burman (S), chairman of the municipal board.<\/p>\n

Northvolt\u2019s bankruptcy annoucentment affects many in Skellefte\u00e5 and has direct effects to local business and trade, but also to Skellefte\u00e5 municipality. Exactly how big the effects will be is too early to say.<\/p>\n

Skellefte\u00e5 municipality has a crisis organisation that is now activated. The main focus for the organisation is to coordinate the work within the municipality and with other actors, and to ensure a current overall view of the situation.<\/p>\n

– Today\u2019s annoucentment is very sad, and we know it will have a negative effect on our municipality in the short run. At the same time, we need to remember that Skellefte\u00e5s development journey started long before Northvolt and that many important investments and business set-ups are taking place here. With our unique assets, Skellefte\u00e5 is a key player in the green transition. What\u2019s important now is that new owners can be in place as soon as possible and that production can be upheld during that time. We all need to gather strength on a local, regional and national level, says Kristina Sundin Jonsson, municipal manager.<\/p>\n
