How does the acquisition affect the previously allocated funding for the project?

Northvolt received approximately €600 million from the KfW, with some funds already used for the Heide project. The remaining funds are in the German project company's free capital reserves and remain earmarked for battery cell production in Heide. Additionally, the EU Commission approved roughly €700 million in direct funding (137 million from the state, 564 million from the federal government), though this hasn't been disbursed yet.

What is the immediate impact of Schleswig-Holstein's decision to cancel the €137 million in subsidies?

The immediate impact is the removal of €137 million from Schleswig-Holstein's 2025 budget. This sum, part of a larger €700 million EU-approved package, was earmarked for the now-insolvent Northvolt's planned battery factory near Heide. The funds will not be disbursed because the project is currently stalled due to the ongoing acquisition by Lyten.
