Automotive Cells Co. (ACC), a battery cell manufacturing joint venture between Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz and France-based energy giant TotalEnergies, is eying Quebec as the possible location for a new battery processing plant, according to lobbyist filings with the Canadian government.
Two consultants acting on behalf of the cell producer, which is currently focused on the European market, began engaging with Ottawa on possible grants and incentives tied to the development of a facility at an unspecified location in Quebec on May 19.
The pair of lobbyists with consulting firm Ernst & Young said ACC plans to engage with several federal agencies on the file, including Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada , the department that has stickhandled the recent influx of automotive and battery cell supply chain investments in Quebec and Ontario.
ISED would not comment on the talks, while ACC did not respond to requests for comment about its possible plans for Quebec. In March, the North American Lithium project in northwestern Quebec began commercial production of lithium-rich spodumene concentrate, becoming the first significant producer of the metal in Canada. A flurry of other mining projects is in development, along with several mid-stream facilities expected to process locally sourced materials into battery-grade products.
