On Tuesday night, Estonian clean energy technology manufacturer Elcogen officially opened its new state-of-the-art technology facility in Loov\u00e4lja Industrial Park on the outskirts of Tallinn that was built by Maru Ehitus.<\/a> Design firm Norte<\/a>, installation company Maru THM<\/a> and steel producer Maru Metall<\/a> of Maru also contributed to the project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new factory, named ELCO I, marks a pivotal step in scaling up the company\u2019s role in the global energy transition. As demand for reliable Solid Oxide-based clean energy solutions accelerates worldwide, Elcogen is now positioned to deliver the high-performance technology the market needs, at commercial volumes, Elcogen said in a statement. The new facility will increase the company\u2019s available production capacity by nearly 30 times, from 10 MW to 360 MW, positioning it as one of Europe\u2019s largest manufacturers of high-efficiency Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Electrolysis (SOEC) technology.<\/p>\n

Elcogen also emphasised in its statement that with approximately EUR 50 million in capital investment, the facility was delivered on time and on budget by Maru Ehitus.<\/a> In fact, the day before the opening event, Elcogen CEO and founder Enn \u00d5unpuu told \u00c4rip\u00e4ev Radio that the factory cost 5 per cent less to build than had been anticipated. “All the engineering solutions had been carefully thought through, allowing for no surprises during the construction process,” \u00d5unpuu noted on the radio programme.<\/p>\n
