Boston-Power, Inc. announced that it invested $30 million in new private equity. The funding was led by existing investor GSR Ventures. Long-standing Boston-Power investors Oak Investment Partners and Foundation Asset Management (FAM) also added in.

Before the investment, Boston-Power was just announced $125 million investment in growth capital and Chinese government stimulus programs – comprising a combination of grants, low-interest loans and related financial and tax incentives – and is being used to scale manufacturing, research and development, and business development activities in China for the company’s award-winning energy storage technology and products.

Great effort paid on capitalizing on its expanded opportunities in China, Boston-Power recently broke ground on its new manufacturing site in Liyang. Located in the Shanghai Corridor and scheduled for completion by the end of 2012, the state-of-the-art facility will be capable of producing 400 MWh of lithium-ion battery cells annually. Concurrently, Boston-Power is establishing a world-class R&D and EV battery engineering facility in Beijing. Augmenting those capabilities, Boston-Power’s Westborough, Massachusetts-based team maintains responsibility for intellectual property development, research and development, global customer support, sales and business development and partnerships with advanced research organizations in the Boston area.
