Lyten Looking to Acquire Northvolt’s Montreal Battery Plant Project
AI Article Summary

Lyten, a U.S. developer of lithium-sulfur batteries, intends to acquire Northvolt's stalled $7-million EV battery plant project in Montreal, as part of a larger acquisition of the company's North American assets. This follows Lyten's agreement to purchase Northvolt's assets in Sweden and Germany for $5 billion due to the Swedish firm's bankruptcy. The Quebec government has indicated potential financial implications for its $270-million investment and a $240-million secured loan if the sale proceeds. Northvolt North America is continuing the sale process with the assistance of Société Générale.
