Voltstorage is powering down.
Founded in 2016, the Munich-based company raised a total of €66m for its iron salt battery, designed to store renewable energy for extended periods.
The company is now slowly winding down its operations to avoid bankruptcy after it failed to raise a new round of funding, a source at the company tells Impact Loop.
John Alper, Voltstorage's principal technologist, says the business faced "many headwinds."
