HUGE = Ener1 expansion on schedule and on budget
22 minutes ago

"Statement From U.S Department of Energy

This is one of 30 new advanced battery and electric vehicle component plants that the Administration has invested in across the country, creating the potential for tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs. The U.S. will have increased our capacity to produce electric-drive vehicles batteries from virtually zero in 2008 up to 500,000 per year in 2015. These investments are building domestic capacity for manufacturing advanced technology vehicles and components - helping to ensure the U.S. remains a leader in a fiercely competitive global automotive battery market that was recently estimated to reach more than $14 billion in revenues by 2017 and in which other governments are investing heavily.

EnerDel, whose parent company is Ener1, received a grant - not a loan - through the Recovery Act for $118.5 million to expand an existing battery manufacturing facility and upgrade its equipment and build a new facility with new equipment. The project has received broad bipartisan support and to date has progressed according to schedule and on budget. EnerDel is to provide a 50% cost share, or $118.5 million of their own funds, for a total project value of $237 million.

The Department is closely monitoring the status of the company. So far $55 million of the grant has been paid out to EnerDel. Any additional funds received from the government would need to be matched dollar for dollar with their own investment."
