Trina Storage has deployed and commissioned its Elementa 2 BESS at two utility-scale power plants in Japan’s Gunma Prefecture. The project represents a key milestone for its growing footprint in APAC, where over 2.4 GWh of utility-scale BESS capacity is under execution.
The Elementa 2 units were delivered simultaneously to two separate sites and brought online in less than three weeks. This dual-site deployment and commissioning was executed under a compressed timeframe with Trina Storage’s global engineering team collaborating with local technical specialists to support system delivery and installation phases, reflecting a high-efficiency delivery model combining global expertise with local execution.
Combined, the systems deliver approximately 16 MWh of storage capacity, equivalent to powering 1,500 households.
Elementa 2 meets major international safety and performance standards, including receiving the world’s first UL certification for liquid-cooled thermal control, the IEC 61508 Functional Safety Process Certificate, TÜV NFPA69 explosion-proof ventilation certification and Japan’s JET fire propagation testing — the first granted to an overseas brand.
“Delivering two grid-integrated projects within three weeks highlights not only our product readiness, but also our local execution capability,” commented Li Na, General Manager for Trinasolar Japan. “Trina Storage offers a full-scope delivery framework from manufacturing to commissioning and a strong local team that understands Japan’s regulatory and grid environment. We deeply appreciate our customer’s trust and will continue building on this foundation to support the energy transition.”
