Work to restart the battery factory will now begin. It has also been confirmed that EdgeConneX will establish a data center on the factory site in close collaboration with Lyten. This means yet another large\u2011scale establishment in Skellefte\u00e5.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; This is very positive and welcome news. Lyten will now begin battery production in Skellefte\u00e5. We also welcome EdgeConneX, whose investment further strengthens Skellefte\u00e5 as a hub for innovation and digital development. In recent years we have had to be flexible and adapt to changing circumstances, which also means we are well prepared for the developments now ahead<em>,<\/em> says Lorents Burman (S), Chair of the Municipal Executive Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Lyten also announces that an industrial cluster will be formed in the area through the establishment of a data center by EdgeConneX, which is owned by EQT. This means two large\u2011scale establishments in Skellefte\u00e5. This development continues to support the green transition and Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality will continue working to support and create good conditions for companies to establish and operate here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We are, of course, pleased that battery production can now resume in Skellefte\u00e5. In its recently published battery strategy, the EU has identified batteries as a strategic product for Europe\u2019s competitiveness, and work is underway at the European level to create strong conditions for the entire value chain. Skellefte\u00e5 enables Sweden to take a significant position in this effort and contribute to a strong and resilient battery value chain, including suppliers, research, and talent, says Kristina Sundin Jonsson, Head of Administration, Skellefte\u00e5 municipality.<\/p>\n<p>For questions regarding the purchase, Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality refers to Lyten, EdgeConneX, and the bankruptcy administrators.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsdesk.com\/se\/skellefteakommun\/pressreleases\/skellefteaa-municipality-comments-on-lytens-completion-of-the-purchase-of-the-battery-factory-in-skellefteaa-3434760?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=Subscription&#038;utm_content=current_news\">Klicka h\u00e4r &#8211; l\u00e4nk till originalinl\u00e4gget<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\nK\u00e4lla: Skellefte\u00e5 kommun<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pressmeddelande &#8211; 27 Februari 2026 08:18 Dela L\u00e4nk kopierad!
