ERIA acceleration program<\/a>, Wattium was in the pre-industrialization phase, with functional cells and modules in the laboratory, a pre-series of 32 cells and high-power cycle validation tests. In parallel, they are already working on the production roadmap for 2026, which will mark the beginning of its industrial scale-up. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
From validation to network pilots<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]”Right now our focus is on deploying networked or microgrid pilots with ERIA ecosystem partners,” explains Roger Casals, CEO of Wattium. “These are key tests to validate our performance in the field and demonstrate that we can compete with current technologies in cost, security and speed of charge.”[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]In addition to the pilots, the company is making progress in approvals and certifications, an essential step to consolidate industrial alliances and attract the first early adopter customers. “Our production roadmap points to 2026, and to get there we need to close strategic manufacturing and BESS integration agreements that will accelerate our arrival on the market,” says Casals.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Casals is clear about the value of his time at ERIA: “What the program gives us most is direct access to utilities and operators for real use cases”. To this he adds the importance of technical mentoring: “The support in regulations, security and certification is helping us to prepare the technology for large-scale deployment.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]”We are convinced that our batteries can make a difference in the energy transition, with ERIA we are taking another step to bring them closer to the market. Meanwhile, Wattium is already an example of how local innovation can have a global impact,” concludes Casals.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
