Sungrow will supply both the BESS and the grid-forming power conversion equipment for ENGIE’s Hazelwood BESS expansion in Victoria, Australia.

The first half of the year saw mixed results among China’s leading ESS suppliers, though generally the industry is still performing strongly, writes PV Tech ESS analyst Charlotte Gisbourne. 

Sungrow has completed grid connection and full acceptance testing of a 108.4MW/215.6MWh grid-forming BESS in Cambodia.

Sungrow’s first-half-of-year (H1) revenue fell 28.99% year-on-year, while net profit attributable to owners of the parent company dropped 32.01%.

Egypt’s Minister of Industry laid the foundation stone at Sungrow’s BESS factory site in the Suez Canal Economic Zone earlier this week.

Independent power producer (IPP) Verano Energy has awarded the battery energy storage system (BESS) supply for its 152MW/606MWh Observatorio project to Sungrow.

Activity in Italy’s grid-scale market is accelerating, with Sonnedix and the Strioga Family Foundation acquiring projects totalling over 1GWh combined, while BNZ and RWE have ordered BESS from Sungrow and LONGi respectively totalling 540MWh.

Delta Capacity has brought online the Nordic region’s biggest project to date and has acquired another project that would be almost twice the size.

UAE state-owned IPP Masdar has reached financial close on what it has claimed is the world’s “first gigascale 24/7 renewable energy project”.

In 2025, BESS installations surpassed 320GWh, a y-o-y increase of over 50%. While this tells one-side of the story, the growth in cell and system shipments tells an even more significant one, writes Benchmark’s Iola Hughes.
