GoldenPeaks Capital and Envision have taken a significant step forward in Europe's energy storage landscape by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver 1 GWh of advanced Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects across Europe. This partnership combines GPC's proven track record in renewable power with Envision's cutting-edge Gen 8 BESS technology. This collaboration aims to enhance grid stability and support the energy transition in key European markets. Envision's high energy density BESS technology will enable rapid response to renewable intermittency, ensuring a more reliable and flexible energy supply. The first phase of the project has already kicked off with two projects, totaling 344 MWh, awarded to Envision. GPC's existing 2.5 GWh Capacity Market-awarded BESS projects in Poland underline their leadership in the region's energy storage market, backed by substantial investor confidence. Daniel Tain, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of GoldenPeaks Capital, stated, "This MoU marks another important step in our commitment to deliver innovative and scalable energy storage solutions across Europe." Lei Zhang, Chairman of Envision, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the critical importance of integrating renewable energy with world-class energy storage for grid stability and flexibility. This agreement sets the stage for a promising future in sustainable energy, reflecting our shared commitment to transforming Europe's energy infrastructure. #EnergyStorage #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

Battery deployment in Great Britain just broke a new record. In Q3 2025, 624 MW of new battery capacity became commercially operational - the largest quarterly increase to date. This brings total installed capacity to 6.3 GW, with total energy capacity now reaching 10 GWh. That’s a 1.2 GWh jump in energy capacity in a single quarter - also a record - pushing the average duration of GB’s battery fleet to 1.57 hours. Almost half of the new capacity online in Q3 came from a single site, Statera’s Thurrock - now the largest battery in Great Britain at 300 MW / 600 MWh. With only 150 MW needed in Q4 to surpass the full-year record set in 2023, 2025 is on track to become GB’s biggest year ever for battery buildout. Get all the data on new sites, durations, and projections on the Modo Energy Terminal.

🇫🇮 CheckWatt and Huawei Digital Power Nordic enables more Finnish customers to connect their battery to a virtual power plant! We’re excited to announce that Huawei’s hybrid cooling energy storage system for commercial and industrial clients has been approved by Fingrid to deliver ancillary services. Additionally, Huawei's residential MAP0-series has passed CheckWatts internal pre-qualification tests and been submitted to Fingrid. With these integrations, Finnish battery owners now have more choices unlocking new revenue streams, and contribute to building a more flexible and renewable energy system.
