Leading with Innovation and Engineering Excellence
Trina Storage began the year in full swing and maintained that pace throughout. The company detailed its advanced battery cell technology in an informative white paper offering insights into how vertical integration delivers greater system value, safety, and lifecycle performance for energy storage customers worldwide.

A Banner Year for Energy Storage Safety and Certifications
Throughout 2025, Trina Storage's safety-first approach earned repeated recognition across international markets. The company achieved the industry's first IEC 61508 Functional Safety Certification for utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), further cementing its leadership in compliance and system integrity. This certification confirms that Trina Storage's systems meet rigorous international standards for risk reduction, failure prevention, and operational integrity, helping safeguard people, property, and the grid during critical events.

 

The Elementa 2 Pro continued to make headlines, receiving UL 1973, IEC 62619, UN38.3, UL 9540A, and other major global certifications. Together, these certifications demonstrate that the Elementa 2 Pro Platform meets the highest international safety and transportability standards across its battery cells, modules, and overall system. It also became the first energy storage system in the world to earn a 20-year Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), a landmark sustainability milestone. By analyzing the product's environmental impact across its entire lifecycle, from raw materials and manufacturing to use and end-of-life, the platform proves Trina Storage's commitment to transparency, eco-design, and long-term environmental responsibility.

Consistent Tier 1 Energy Storage Recognition and Bankability
Trina Storage ended Q1 with a fifth consecutive ranking in BloombergNEF (BNEF) Energy Storage Tier 1. As the year continued, so did Trina Storage's Tier 1 streak. Q2 led to their sixth consecutive appearance, with Q3 showcasing their seventh. Trina Storage's reputation for trust and technical strength was further validated with an unprecedented eight consecutive appearances in the BloombergNEF (BNEF) Energy Storage Tier 1 ranking. This distinction underscores Trina's bankability, scale, and successful execution across global markets.

 

Beyond BNEF, Trina Storage was also recognized in S&P Global Energy's 2025 Energy Storage System Integrator Report ranking, securing positions at both the global level and across multiple key regional markets. This further reflects the company's growing international footprint, project delivery track record, and increasing acceptance among leading developers and financiers worldwide.

 

In 2025, Trina Storage also retained its top position in the BNEF Bankability Survey, reinforcing confidence among investors, developers, and EPC's seeking long-term project viability and performance.

Strategic Trina Storage Deployments and Industry Partnerships
This year, Trina Storage deepened relationships with key partners and expanded its footprint across multiple global markets, supported by a growing portfolio of utility-scale deployments.

 

In North America, the company strengthened its strategic partnership with Lightshift Energy, with both parties committed to jointly delivering over 1 GWh of energy storage projects in the coming years. In parallel, Trina Storage partnered with FlexGen on projects in California, combining best-in-class hardware and software to support load growth, renewable integration, and peak demand management.

 

In Europe, Trina Storage continued to build a solid foundation across core energy storage markets. The company has delivered and is constructing over 50 projects across the UK, Germany, Greece, and Eastern Europe, with a total installed and under-construction capacity exceeding 4 GWh, reflecting strong local execution capabilities and market adaptability.

 

Beyond Europe and North America, Trina Storage achieved further milestones globally. In Latin America, the company shipped a 1.2 GWh single-site energy storage project in Chile, setting a regional benchmark. In the Middle East and Africa, the Abydos 300 MWh solar-plus-storage project in Egypt was successfully grid-connected in July, standing as one of the largest single-site hybrid projects in Africa. Across the Asia-Pacific region (excluding China), utility-scale projects under construction have surpassed 2.4 GWh, spanning key markets including Australia, Japan, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.

From Cell to AC, Full-Stack Energy Storage Solutions for Global Market
In 2025, Trina Storage strengthened its Trina Storage continued to strengthen its full-stack energy storage capabilities—from cell and cabinet to system and AC integration—further enhancing grid readiness and delivery reliability for utility-scale projects worldwide. Building on its system-level expertise across cell, module, and container design, the company advanced its AC-side system validation and integration capabilities to enable end-to-end, utility-ready delivery. Through an upgraded AC System Validation Platform, the company advanced its ability to verify system performance, reduce commissioning risks, and support large-scale global deployment.

 

Built on medium-voltage testing, full-system environmental validation, and 1:1 hardware-in-the-loop EMS simulation, this integrated framework enables pre-commissioning and system-level verification before shipment, improving delivery predictability and shortening project acceptance timelines. Complemented by local AC integration and testing capabilities in North America and Europe, Trina Storage ensures each system is fully validated to meet regional grid and compliance requirements.

Looking Ahead
As Trina Storage exits 2025 with a stronger global footprint, industry-first safety credentials, and a next-generation product portfolio, it enters 2026 well-positioned to continue shaping the future of energy storage. Whether stabilizing volatile grids, supporting decarbonization, or enabling flexible power delivery, Trina Storage continues to push boundaries safely, efficiently, and at scale.
