The company had already postponed the construction of the plant last year due to macroeconomic headwinds and is now looking for more aid, the report stated. Intel’s original estimate was €17 billion for the German plant but now expects to spend €30 billion.
Intel was expecting around 40% of this project to receive a subsidy through the EU’s Chips Act.
