Renera

What Renera does

Renera LLC is the largest Russian manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries and energy storage systems, founded in 2012 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROSATOM State Corporation through JSC TVEL (the ROSATOM fuel company). The company produces NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) lithium-ion products spanning VDA-format cells (60Ah, 120Ah, 180Ah) and modules, traction batteries for passenger and commercial electric vehicles, energy storage systems (ESS) for the power industry, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), substation DC systems (SOPT), and cathode materials used in Russian aerospace batteries. Headquartered in Moscow at Volgogradsky Prospekt 42, with R&D centers and experimental production, Renera is constructing two gigafactories: the first opened in Kaliningrad in August 2025 (4 GWh/year capacity, 900 specialists), and a second is planned in Moscow's Innovation Cluster for 2026 (4 GWh/year, 90% automation, over 1,200 jobs), bringing combined capacity to 8.5 GWh/year by 2026 — sufficient for 50,000 EV traction batteries annually.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers structured by customer segment (Electric Transport, Special Equipment, Energy). Renera sells standard catalog products and custom turnkey solutions developed to customer specifications, with quote-based pricing disclosed only through direct consultation. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of batteries and energy storage systems, complemented by cathode material production (since 2012) and professional services for custom engineering. Customers include the ATOM electric vehicle brand, Moscow's electric bus fleet, St. Petersburg's trolleybus fleet, CIS quarry mining operations, and Russian state officials' transport. Key customers are predominantly government and state-affiliated entities, suggesting significant institutional concentration in the revenue base.

Renera holds 63 patents and 60 know-hows, operates 3 R&D centers and 3 production sites, and is ISO 9001 certified (both domestic and international). Products comply with international standards including UN ECE R100 Rev 3, UN 38.3 Rev 7, ISO 26262, and ISO 21434. The company differentiates on cell-level energy density (260 Wh/kg for traction batteries, up to 598 Wh/kg for specific VDA cells), fast charging (35-40 minutes to 80%), long service life (up to 10 years), and wide operating temperature range (-30 to +50°C). As part of ROSATOM, Renera leverages the parent's procurement scale, industrial networks, and capital resources, while operating within a domestic Russian regulatory and supply-chain ecosystem that limits exposure to foreign competitors but also constrains international expansion.
