Sen. Ossoff on Rivian Manufacturing Plant Coming to Georgia

Statement

Today, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff celebrated the announcement of Rivian's new electric vehicle plant in Georgia, which follows an Ossoff-brokered settlement that saved the $2.6 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Commerce, Georgia.

The Rivian plant supports Georgia's rapid growth as a leading producer of renewable energy technology.

Georgia also hosts the Hanwha Q Cells solar manufacturing plant in Dalton, the largest solar module manufacturing plant in the Western Hemisphere. Sen. Ossoff is leading Senate efforts to boost American solar manufacturing.

"My vision is that Georgia should lead the nation in renewable energy, and today's announcement is a huge step forward," Sen. Ossoff said. "I thank our state's leaders for working collaboratively to attract this investment and look forward to hosting Rivian and the thousands of jobs that will be created to produce Georgia-made electric vehicles."
