en.Wedoany.com Reported - Wedoany News, Recently, Sungrow signed a strategic agreement with ENGIE Italia to provide a 65MVA/260MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) for the Fauglia area in the Province of Pisa, Italy. As one of the winning projects in Italy's annual capacity market for delivery in 2027, this collaboration not only represents a key step for both parties in deepening their presence in the European market but will also provide significant support for grid flexibility upgrades and large-scale renewable energy integration in central Italy.
Under the agreement, Sungrow will provide a complete turnkey solution, including 52 units of the 4-hour PowerTitan 2.0 energy storage system, 13 units of the MVS5140LS medium-voltage converter, an Energy Management System (EMS), overall site commissioning services, and a 20-year Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA). In terms of delivery timeline, Sungrow plans to complete delivery in the first quarter of 2027 and commence commercial operation in the third quarter of 2027, aligning with the Italian capacity market schedule. This full-chain service model, covering products, systems, commissioning, and lifecycle operations and maintenance, not only demonstrates Sungrow's technical strength and delivery assurance capabilities in large-scale energy storage projects but also lays a solid foundation for the safe and stable operation of the project over the next 20 years.
For ENGIE, this project is a significant step in expanding its European energy storage business footprint. As a leading global energy company, ENGIE has set a strategic target of achieving a total installed capacity of 1.6 GW for renewable energy and energy storage in Italy by 2030. This collaboration with Sungrow will increase its BESS project portfolio in Italy to 300 MW/1108 MWh, significantly enhancing its competitiveness in the local energy storage market.
For Sungrow, through deep cooperation with an international energy giant like ENGIE, the company can further validate the applicability of its products and solutions under stringent European standards, while also gaining valuable experience for expanding into more European capacity market projects in the future.
Italy has now become one of the fastest-growing energy storage markets in Europe. According to data from Italia Solare, as of September 2025, Italy had installed over 848,000 grid-connected electrochemical energy storage systems, with a total installed capacity of 17.4 GWh and a power capacity exceeding 7 GW. Among these, standalone energy storage systems saw particularly strong growth, increasing by 147% year-on-year.
The rapid market growth is driven by Italy's strong momentum in renewable energy development. Italia Solare reports that after adding over 6.4 GW of new solar photovoltaic capacity in 2025, Italy's cumulative solar PV installed capacity is expected to reach 43.5 GW by the end of 2025. The rapid expansion of solar power generation has increased the demand for large-scale energy storage projects, which can balance intermittent renewable energy generation and enhance grid reliability.
Industry forecasts indicate that by 2030, as Italy pursues ambitious decarbonization and energy transition goals, the country may require up to 15 GW of battery energy storage system capacity. This vast market potential offers significant development opportunities for global leading energy storage companies, including Sungrow.
