In the rapidly evolving US energy storage sector, companies must navigate a complex web of policy changes, supply chain challenges, and evolving customer needs.

Although vertically integrated ESS-cell suppliers retain more control over their supply chain, system integrators’ flexibility may help them in the medium-term, writes Solar Media Market Research analyst Charlotte Gisbourne.

Chinese lithium-ion OEM Hithium will push forward with its planned IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX).

The market share of vertically integrated battery cell and BESS companies has fallen since 2023, market intelligence firm Rho Motion said.

Bahraini, Chinese, Egyptian and Emirati groups have agreed to develop a new manufacturing facility in Egypt.

Chinese solar PV inverter and energy storage provider Sungrow has announced two major developments: plans for a Hong Kong IPO and the release of its half-year 2025 interim report.

One of the world’s major players in solar PV is also becoming a well-known name in the energy storage system (ESS) space.

As the BESS industry matures, the trend towards a closening relationship between OEMs and project owners looks set to continue, but system integrators will continue to have a role to play.

Listing via the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is emerging as a key financing pathway for China’s energy storage players, writes Carrie Xiao.

The battery storage arm of Canadian Solar expects to make between 7GWh and 9GWh of shipments this year, with the final figure dependent on trade policy developments.
