SUN Terra is a subsidiary of Sinar Mas, an Indonesian conglomerate focusing on renewable energy developments.

Several other companies are under the SUN Group umbrella, including SUN Energy, which focuses on utility-scale solar PV sites, and SUN Mobility, which focuses on electric vehicles (EVs).

Kane Xu, senior vice president and president of international product lines at Envision Energy, outlined that the partnership will help the organisation delve deeper into the Indian, Southeast Asian, and Australian energy storage markets while also bolstering local energy ecosystems.

This is Envision Energy’s latest deal to help deepen the company’s reach into key target markets across APAC. At the start of the year, the organisation inked a supply agreement to provide a 320MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) to Juniper Green Energy in India.

Elsewhere in the world, Envision has also deepened its ties with Kazakhstan, with construction having commenced on a gigawatt-scale wind turbine and energy storage factory.

Representing a total investment of US$40 million, the plant will have an annual production capacity for 2GW of wind turbines and 1GWh of BESS solutions.

For SUN Terra, the strategic partnership will help introduce “advanced energy storage systems” to Indonesia, Australia and India. It will also empower the localisation of production and technological advancements in these markets.

In a recent interview available to ESN Premium subscribers, Envision Energy chief engineer Kotub Uddin said the company is preparing to launch a new lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS technology catered for long-duration applications.

Although Uddin was unable to provide further details on the new product, he did offer some insights into how the Chinese renewable energy, storage and software technology provider has developed solutions that he believes will be competitive against pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) for applications requiring up to 10-hour discharge at full-rated power.

A few weeks after that interview with Kotub Uddin, Envision launched its latest BESS product at the Intersolar Europe / ees Europe trade show in Germany, the EN 8 Pro 8MWh DC liquid-cooled Energy Storage System. It is equipped with 700Ah cells, and Envision claims it is integrated with precise state of charge (SoC) algorithms and milisecond-level data acquisition capabilities.
