For the eighth consecutive year, California-based clean energy storage company SimpliPhi Power announced record growth, marking this year’s milestone with a “Give Thanks, Give Back” rebate program. The rebate is designed to show appreciation to the installer partners that have championed the company’s technology since 2010.

“We recognize that our continued growth would not be possible without the solar and energy installer community that has shown us such immense loyalty over the years,” said Catherine Von Burg, SimpliPhi Power CEO. “Our success as a mission-driven startup that’s grown to global scale lies in the tireless work and creative ideas of installers and innovators on the ground. Our goal in offering direct cash rebates to installers to close out 2018 is to show our thanks and support of their businesses — just as they continue to support us.”

SimpliPhi announced that 2018 will close out as yet another banner year, with 100% growth projected by year’s end, exceeding previous years in the company’s seven-year history. In October, to keep up with growing global demand, the company relocated its headquarters, manufacturing and R&D operations to a larger facility in Oxnard, California. The new space has allowed the company to significantly expand manufacturing capacity, continue to scale and bring down costs.

Changing global conditions have driven increasing demand for renewable energy solutions. A contributing factor to the increasing demand for SimpliPhi energy storage has been the growing number of wildfires, hurricanes and other natural disasters: increasingly severe conditions tied to climate change. These have led homeowners, businesses, communities and humanitarian programs to seek out non-hazardous, reliable and high performing energy storage systems capable of delivering energy security when the grid is either unavailable or unreliable.

“We recognize that the continued growth of our company is due in part to escalating threats to energy security,” said Von Burg. “Our residential, commercial and mobile product lines create access to reliable, safe and cost-effective power when it comes to resiliency and recovery,” emphasized Von Burg.

“Our communities and planet need answers, and together, as an energy industry, it’s our obligation to continue to innovate and deliver solutions. We have made a great impact so far — from hurricane recovery in Puerto Rico to fire resiliency for communities in our own California backyard, but there’s much more work to be done. Our installer partners are on the front lines ensuring that their customers have secure access to power, on their terms. We want to do all we can to empower installers to transform the energy reality of as many people in as many global communities as possible.”

EnerVenue, developer of lithium-free nickel-hydrogen batteries, has signed its first multi-megawatt-hour commercial order: 11 MWh with a major Chinese oil and gas producer. Announced on 23 September 2026, the order covers 26 containerised Energy Prism units that will store solar power at an oilfield in northern China.

Shifting daytime solar to peak hours

According to the company, the systems will shift the site’s daytime solar output to peak demand hours. Three units will ship in December 2026 and 23 in March 2027. The customer was not named; EnerVenue says safety was the primary selection factor.

Water-based, non-flammable electrolyte

The Energy Prism units use EnerVenue’s fourth-generation Aqueous Metal Cell (AMC), a nickel-hydrogen chemistry with a water-based, non-flammable electrolyte, designed for 30,000 charge cycles – up to three cycles a day for 30 years. The company says the cells passed UL 9540A fire propagation testing with no fire at cell level.

CEO Henning Rath said an oil and gas producer does not put new technology on a working site unless it is completely satisfied that the safety case is sound. CTO Dr Majid Keshavarz said the AMC chemistry does not produce the progression of events that leads to ignition, fire or explosion.

New line in Changzhou

The units will be made at the company’s new facility in Changzhou, Jiangsu, which opened on 24 September 2026. Phase 1 capacity is 250 MWh a year, with plans to reach 1 GWh in 2027.

Trucks carrying Gotion Grid 5 MWh energy storage systems departing for Egypt

Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion High-Tech has started delivering what it describes as Africa’s largest AC-coupled energy storage project: Gotion Grid 5 MWh systems for the Nefertiti and Horus storage projects in Egypt. According to the company’s 30 September 2026 release, only three months passed between contract signing and the departure of the first shipment.

50 trucks from Jinzhai and Nantong

On 28 September 2026, 50 heavy-duty trucks carrying Gotion Grid 5 MWh systems left Gotion’s Jinzhai and Nantong facilities in China. The Nefertiti and Horus projects, developed by AMEA Power and built by China Energy Engineering Group, are Egypt’s first large-scale standalone storage facilities.

Full DC-to-AC integration

Gotion says the systems are supplied with full DC-to-AC integration, including in-house cells, battery management systems, DC systems, power conversion systems and transformers. They are designed for extreme heat, sandstorms and salt fog – conditions typical of the project sites.

A step into the Middle East and North Africa

Hussain Al Nowais, Chairman of AMEA Power, said the shipment opens a new stage of broader cooperation and that the company is proud of and satisfied with its partnership with Gotion. Li Chen, Senior Vice President of Gotion, called Egypt a key step for Gotion into the Middle East and North Africa, proving it can deliver end-to-end, operate locally and commit for the long term.

Groundbreaking ceremony for Greenvolt's Siedlce battery storage project in Poland

Greenvolt Power has started construction of the 600 MW / 2.4 GWh Siedlce battery energy storage project in Poland. Announced on 24 September 2026, the project will become Poland’s largest and one of Europe’s largest battery storage facilities, according to the company. Commercial operation is planned for the end of 2027.

210 battery containers from BYD

According to Greenvolt, BYD Energy Storage is supplying the batteries. The facility will comprise 210 battery containers and 105 transformer containers with power conversion systems. P&Q is responsible for engineering and construction and ONDE for the electrical infrastructure.

1 GW / 4 GWh in Poland

Greenvolt’s 200 MW / 800 MWh Turośń Kościelna facility has been operating since July 2026, while the Ełk project of the same size is expected online in the fourth quarter of 2026. Together with Siedlce, the three projects will total 1 GW / 4 GWh. The company’s probability-weighted BESS pipeline stands at around 4.6 GW, of which about 2.4 GW is in Poland.

João Manso Neto, CEO of Greenvolt Group, said that with Siedlce the company is once again moving from plans to delivery, adding that Poland is a key market and battery storage is becoming an increasingly important part of its growth.
