Recently, the overseas energy storage market has seen a continuous influx of orders, with multiple Chinese enterprises accelerating their expansion into European, North American, and Southeast Asian markets. CATL, Trina Storage, and LG Energy Solution have successively secured major overseas energy storage projects and supply contracts, while Hoymiles has further advanced its layout in the Philippine solar-plus-storage market.
CATL Secures European Energy Storage Order
Recently, CATL signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Alfen N.V., a leading European new energy integrator.
According to the agreement, the two parties plan to deploy CATL’s TENER sodium-ion energy storage systems with a total capacity of 5 GWh in Western European countries, including the Netherlands, starting from 2027.
CATL stated that this collaboration will drive the debut of its TENER sodium-ion energy storage systems in the European market. By accumulating localized experience in applying sodium-ion technology to the European grid through these projects, the company aims to continuously enhance product compatibility with European grid standards and accelerate the large-scale promotion of sodium-ion energy storage technology across Europe.
Trina Storage Secures Swedish Energy Storage Order
Recently, Trina Storage signed an agreement with renewable energy developer OX2 to provide an integrated battery energy storage solution for the Fageråsen energy storage project in Sweden.
With a scale of 50 MW / 209 MWh, the project will utilize Trina Storage's Elementa King Kong 3 DC energy storage system and the Electra 13.8 MVA / 50 MWh AC integrated solution. This marks the first European deployment of this specific AC-integrated solution.
In addition, Trina Storage will provide the Power Plant Controller (PPC), commissioning, and long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) services. Equipment delivery is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027 to ensure the project is grid-connected and operational by the end of 2027.
This signing marks the third time Trina Storage has been awarded a large-scale battery energy storage order by OX2, following the Kannisto and Korkeamaa projects in Finland. To date, the cumulative capacity of the projects cooperated between the two parties has reached approximately 680 MWh.
LG Energy Solution Secures 2.9 GWh Energy Storage Battery Contract
On July 14, LG Energy Solution announced that it had secured a battery supply contract for a large-scale solar-plus-storage project in the United States backed by Google, with the total transaction value reaching hundreds of billions of Korean won.
Reportedly, these energy storage batteries will be used for the Steel River Energy Center project, jointly developed by Cypress Creek Renewables (referred to as CCE in the source) and Google in Arkansas.
The project has a total capacity of 2.5 GW DC solar power and 2.9 GWh of energy storage. Currently, construction has officially commenced on Phase I and Phase II of the project (covering 1.6 GW of solar and 1.9 GWh of storage capacity), and the entire project is expected to be fully completed and operational by 2029.
To meet the strict North American local supply chain requirements of Google and CCE, the "JF2 DC Link" lithium iron phosphate (LFP) energy storage system solution planned by LG Energy Solution for this project will be manufactured entirely within North America.
Hoymiles Signs Solar-Plus-Storage Collaboration in the Philippines
Recently, Hoymiles signed a strategic cooperation agreement with its Philippine partner, Brills Marketing Corporation. The two parties will collaborate on the promotion of solar-plus-storage products and localized services to drive the implementation of Hoymiles’ solar-plus-storage solutions in the Philippine market.
Under this partnership, Hoymiles will provide solar-plus-storage solutions for residential, DIY, and commercial & industrial (C&I) scenarios in the Philippine market, including microinverters, hybrid storage inverters, and energy storage systems.
