CATL and Solarpro Sign Major Sodium-Ion Battery Storage Agreement in Europe

CATL has entered into a significant agreement with Solarpro, a renewable energy company operating in Eastern Europe, to supply 2 GWh of its Tener sodium-ion batteries for energy storage applications. This partnership marks a strategic move for CATL as it expands its footprint in the European energy storage market.

This deal represents the second sodium-ion battery order that CATL has secured in Europe within the current month, underscoring the growing demand for alternative battery chemistries in the region. Sodium-ion technology is gaining traction as a cost-effective and sustainable complement to lithium-ion batteries.

The collaboration between CATL and Solarpro is expected to bolster the region’s energy infrastructure, providing reliable storage solutions that support the integration of renewable energy sources. Details of the project timeline and specific deployment locations have not been disclosed.
