On a hill above the northern Swedish town of Skellefteå, the barracks spread out like their own small village. More than a thousand gray residential containers stand out starkly against the forest of fir, spruce and birch that stretches east and north along the E4 highway. There is a lot going on in the parking lot of the temporary housing complex in the early evening. Minibuses take workers and engineers to the accommodation. One resident comes from Lithuania, another from Slovakia, and others come from China or Korea. They are all here because of a project that started with great hopes but is now struggling with problems: the battery cell factory of the start-up Northvolt.
