SoftBank is preparing to manufacture batteries for AI data centers
Golden Finance reports that earlier this week, Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter, said that Japan’s SoftBank Group’s mobile communications division plans to convert part of its factory in Osaka, Japan, into a large-scale battery production line to power its own artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. The company aims to bring production online within the next five years, and the battery project will be announced by CEO Junichi Miyakawa in May. The plan is to develop a factory with a total battery capacity of several gigawatt-hours (GWh), which will become one of Japan’s largest battery factories, initially using these batteries to support its own AI data centers, and then providing them to other Japanese companies. After SoftBank executives considered different uses for the factory in Sakai City (including robot manufacturing), they decided to enter the energy sector.
