Recently, the global energy storage market has witnessed a flurry of new developments. From Tesla's single-quarter energy storage system deliveries reaching 13.5 GWh, to companies like Jinko ESS and Alsym Energy securing major new orders, alongside the announcement of Saudi Arabia's 12 GWh energy storage procurement and domestic 4 GWh cell framework bidding results, the construction of global energy storage projects and market collaborations continue to advance steadily.
Jinko ESS Signs 400 MWh Energy Storage Order in Eastern Europe
At the Intersolar Europe exhibition, Jinko ESS officially signed an agreement with clean energy developer Taliva Energy. The two parties plan to cooperate on developing large-scale energy storage projects with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh in Eastern Europe.
Taliva Energy has long been deeply involved in European markets such as Romania and Turkey, focusing on the development of large-scale energy infrastructure and energy storage projects. This collaboration will combine Taliva Energy's local project development capabilities with Jinko ESS's advanced energy storage system technology to jointly accelerate energy storage project construction in Eastern Europe.
Alsym Energy Secures 9 GWh Sodium-Ion Storage Cooperation Agreement
Recently, battery technology company Alsym Energy signed a 9 GWh strategic cooperation agreement with ERITY, an Australian mining consultancy, to deploy sodium-ion battery energy storage systems within the global mining sector.
According to the agreement, the two parties plan to promote sodium-ion energy storage equipment across mining projects in Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Finland, and the United States. The initial batch of projects will be deployed at mines operated by Volt Resources and Resource Minerals International in these countries.
Notably, this marks the third energy storage cooperation agreement disclosed by Alsym Energy within the past two months. Previously, the company signed an 8.5 GWh partnership agreement with long-duration energy storage firm ESS Inc., and a 500 MWh supply deal with Juniper Energy. Combined with this latest agreement, the cumulative scale of the three partnerships reaches approximately 18 GWh.
Tesla's Q2 2026 Energy Storage System Deliveries Reach 13.5 GWh
On July 2, Tesla released its operating results for the second quarter of 2026. The company's global energy storage system deliveries reached 13.5 GWh, representing a 53% sequential increase compared to 8.8 GWh in Q1 2026, and a 40% year-on-year growth compared to 9.6 GWh in Q2 2025.
Great Power Supplies 314Ah Cells to Tibet’s Mami Tso Solar-Storage Project
Recently, Phase I of the Mami Tso 420 MW Integrated Generation-Grid-Load-Storage PV Power Station Project—invested and constructed by Zijin Longjing Clean Energy Co., Ltd.—successfully achieved full-capacity grid connection and power generation at the end of June 2026. As one of the core energy storage cell suppliers for the project, Great Power provided its specialized 314Ah energy storage cells.
Seven Chinese Enterprises Shortlisted for Saudi Arabia's 12 GWh Procurement
