en.Wedoany.com Reported - Austrian battery manufacturer Salzstrom has secured its first commercial-scale order for its sodium iron phosphate (NFPP) battery energy storage technology, officially launching commercial production.

The company plans to deliver three battery containers to German research and development enterprise Isel-automation in the third quarter of 2026. These systems will provide a combined energy storage capacity of approximately 7 MWh, with each container rated at 2.3 MWh.

Salzstrom stated that the order value is in the single-digit million euro range.

These energy storage systems will be deployed at three industrial sites of Isel-automation in Germany, each already equipped with approximately 500 kW of solar capacity. The total battery power rating is 1.25 MW, with slight variations in specifications at each site.

Salzstrom stated that the company will manage key aspects of project delivery, including system design, component selection, integration of the Power Conversion System (PCS) and Energy Management System (EMS), commissioning, and long-term operation.

The company describes this project as the first commercial deployment of sodium iron phosphate battery containers in Europe and plans to promote the technology across the European market.

According to Salzstrom, these batteries use non-flammable cells that can operate over a wide temperature range. The cells can discharge at temperatures as low as -40°C, reducing heating and cooling requirements and lowering operational costs.

The company also stated that the technology is suitable for high-power applications such as peak shaving, claiming lower degradation under high current operation compared to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries.

The company targets industrial and commercial energy users seeking to reduce electricity costs, increase solar self-consumption rates, and optimize grid connection capacity.
