Moment Energy is Building World’s Largest Battery Repurposing ‘Megafactory’ in Vancouver in 6 Weeks

Moment Energy, developing a new standard for commercial-scale energy storage, led by Edward Chiang and the team, announced it is building the world’s largest battery repurposing facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, over the next 6 weeks, marking a major step forward in scaling domestic energy storage infrastructure and the fastest in the world to scale battery manufacturing.

The announcement follows the company’s $40M Series B, bringing total funding to over $100M and reflecting growing investor confidence in Moment Energy’s role in future energy systems.

The new facility, expected by June 2026, will expand manufacturing in North America to meet rising demand from data centers, industrial users, and utilities facing power constraints.

Scaling Domestic Energy Infrastructure

The Vancouver site is designed for the rapid deployment of energy storage systems, addressing growing power constraints across high-demand sectors.

Moment Energy is repurposing EV batteries into cost-effective storage systems to meet accelerating energy demand across North America.

“This is about building infrastructure for the next generation of energy demand,” said Edward Chiang. “This facility strengthens domestic manufacturing and leverages existing battery resources to deliver reliable, affordable power.”

World’s Largest Certified Second-Life Battery Facility

Once complete, the Vancouver site will be the world’s largest battery repurposing facility, reaching 1 GWh capacity by 2030 and creating 100+ skilled jobs.

Moment Energy will operate a fully vertically integrated system, handling battery intake, testing, and deployment, and will be among the few facilities globally certified under UL 1974.

By keeping the supply chain domestic, the facility strengthens North American manufacturing and reduces dependence on foreign battery systems.

Unlocking a Major Untapped Domestic Energy Resource

Moment Energy is expanding into one of North America’s largest untapped energy sources: retired EV batteries.

With hundreds of GWh expected to come offline over the next decade, second-life systems offer a faster, lower-cost way to scale energy storage while extending the life of critical materials.

This positions the company at the center of rising storage demand driven by AI infrastructure, while supporting domestic manufacturing and energy resilience priorities.
