At a critical period of sprinting towards a 40GWh scale in the European energy storage market, Chinese green technology company Far East Energy recently reached a heavyweight cooperation with European renewable energy developer GoldenPeaks Capital (GPC) to finalize a supply and deployment agreement for a battery energy storage system with a total scale of 1GWh. The landing of this order is not only a direct reflection of the "incremental dividend" of Europe's energy transformation, but also confirms the global advancement of Chinese energy storage enterprises from "product output" to "value output".

The core support of this cooperation is the precise adaptation of Chinese energy storage technology to the demand of the European market. The Far East 8th generation battery energy storage system used in the order, with the advantage of grid construction technology, can respond to grid fluctuations within 0.1 seconds, perfectly matching the core pain points of "grid aging+high proportion of renewable energy access" in Europe. The system has passed the EU's comprehensive network certification and T Ü V S Ü D carbon footprint certification. Its full lifecycle carbon footprint is lower than international competitors and fully complies with the requirements of the EU's new battery regulations. At present, the first batch of 344MWh projects have entered the implementation stage and have all obtained long-term capacity market contract guarantees in Europe. This combination of "technical compliance+revenue determination" is the core demand of European energy storage projects.

From the perspective of market layout, this order is precisely positioned in the core area of European energy storage growth. The project will start from Poland and gradually expand to countries such as Germany, Hungary, and Italy, ultimately forming a 1GWh energy storage corridor covering Central and Southern Europe. This layout logic is highly compatible with the characteristics of the European regional market: Poland has become a hub in Central and Eastern Europe with a 2.5GWh capacity market reserve project, Germany has seen a surge in energy storage demand due to negative electricity prices of 389 hours, Italy has reduced project risks through a 15 year fixed income contract mechanism, and partner GPC, as one of the largest independent renewable energy producers in Central Europe, has provided deep localized resource support for project implementation.

This is not the first time that Chinese companies have made a breakthrough in the European energy storage market. The current energy storage market in Europe is shifting from being dominated by household storage to being led by large-scale storage. By 2025, 70% of the newly installed capacity will come from grid side projects. Chinese enterprises have formed a differentiated competitive pattern: leading companies such as Far East and Sunac have locked in high-value grid side markets with grid construction technology, while BYD has achieved localized production and deep cultivation of industrial and commercial scenarios through its Polish factory. Previously, Farview had secured a 240MWh FM service order in France and a 50MWh capacity market project in the UK. This 1GWh order further consolidates its advantage in the European multi scenario market.

For Europe, which is accelerating its energy transition, such cooperation can be called a 'timely rain'. The EU plans to increase the installed capacity of energy storage from the current 61GWh to 500-780GWh by 2030, with a growth rate of more than 10 times in ten years. The post-war reconstruction of Ukraine also brings additional demand for electrochemical energy storage. Chinese companies can not only provide technology adapted products, but also output mature localized services - just like the 14 year long-term maintenance model promised by Farview in the French project, this "2-hour response, 24-hour maintenance" service capability is a mandatory requirement for European grid side projects.

From the perspective of global energy transformation, the significance of this 1GWh order goes far beyond commercial cooperation itself. It marks the deep integration of Chinese energy storage companies into the European energy ecosystem, transforming from passive adapters of rules to co creators of value. With the continuous improvement of technological innovation and localization capabilities, China's energy storage power is injecting stable momentum into the transformation of Europe's energy structure with the comprehensive competitiveness of "technology+service+ecology", and providing practical examples for achieving the global "dual carbon" goal.Editor/Bian Wenjun
