A German court has dismissed the environmental complaint against Tesla regarding Gigafactory 4 (or Giga Berlin) in Germany. Tesla can now resume work preparing for construction.
A court in Germany has blocked Tesla from clearing any more trees for its Gigafactory 4 in Brandenburg, Germany.
German news outlet Bild reports that BASF will build a battery factory in Brandenburg for 500 million euros ($555 million). The factory will center around producing cathodes, and the news comes four weeks after Tesla’s surprise for Germany.
German authorities are expecting the first planning documents for the new Tesla factory to be filed as early as Monday, and promise to move the permitting process forward as quickly as possible.
What does an antique Russian bi-plane have to do with Tesla choosing a city in Brandenburg for its first European factory? More than you might think.
Tesla recently unveiled that the location of its 4th Gigafactory will be near Berlin, in Brandenburg in the Grünheide municipality next to the GVZ Berlin-Ost Freienbrink industrial park, and that it will require the removal of part of a forest.
New details about the new Tesla Gigafactory 4 near Berlin have begun to emerge. The first cars are expected to roll off the line in 2021, but Elon Musk may have other ideas.
When people ask me how it is possible that most of my predictions about Tesla are correct, my answer is, “Those are not my predictions. You just have to listen carefully to Elon Musk, and do it twice, better trice.” Elon tells the truth, unless he is joking, and he likes joking but not if it’s about his mission to change the world to sustainable transportation.
Germany’s latest onshore wind tender has again been significantly undersubscribed, failing to come anywhere near the 650 megawatts (MW) on offer and awarding only 208 MW, continuing a year-long trend which can be easily traced back to substantial permitting issues.
Onshore wind energy costs have fallen again in Germany’s latest onshore wind auction, with 1 GW worth of capacity awarded at an average support price of €38/MWh, and with a lowest bid of €22/MWh.
