Approximately 300 partners from around the world attended the event, held under the theme "Leading Eco-Benefit."

Portfolio targets two- and three-wheelers, industrial power and grid storage

The chemistries are aimed at electric two- and three-wheelers, low-speed vehicles and industrial motive power. They also target energy storage for homes, AI data centers, commercial and industrial users, and utility-scale projects.

Guangzhou – October 19, 2026 -- BLUETTI showed commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage systems from 64kWh to 240kWh at the 140th Canton Fair, held October 15 to 19. The company also presented portable and residential products aimed at global distributors and developers.

C&I systems cover peak shaving, arbitrage and backup

The C&I range supports peak shaving, energy arbitrage, critical-load backup and flexible capacity expansion. BLUETTI also presented integrated solar, storage and EV charging systems. These coordinate solar generation, battery storage and EV charging demand, and are designed to reduce grid dependence and manage peak demand.

Kuala Lumpur – October 17, 2026 -- Nasdaq-listed Founder Group Limited (FGL) is tendering through its subsidiary Founder Energy Sdn. Bhd. for projects under Malaysia's Large-Scale Solar 6 (LSS6) programme, which is expected to draw RM13 billion to RM15 billion (US$3.2 billion to US$3.7 billion) in private investment.

PETRA offers 2,500MW of solar and 1,250MW of battery storage under LSS6

The Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) launched LSS6 in July 2026. The quota covers 2,500MW of solar capacity paired with 1,250MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity. A further 150MW of solar capacity is reserved for Bumiputera companies in Peninsular Malaysia.

Chongqing – October 16, 2026 -- HiTHIUM doubled its cumulative energy storage shipments from 100GWh in August 2025 to 200GWh within a year, the company said at a milestone ceremony on October 15 at its Chongqing manufacturing base.

HiTHIUM climbs from fifth to Global Top 2 in storage rankings

Shipments began at the end of 2021. The company's global ranking rose from fifth in 2023 to third in 2024, and to Global Top 2 in 2025 and the first half of 2026. HiTHIUM attributes the climb to cost leadership, service, and safety and reliability.

The company says the growth reflects strengthening capabilities in long-duration energy storage (LDES), end-to-end integration, lighthouse-factory manufacturing, and global delivery and service.

Kitchener – – October 15, 2026 -- Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ), has started commercial operations at its 200 MWp Villameca solar project in Castilla y León, Spain, bringing the company close to 1 GW of operating solar capacity in the country by the end of the year.

Villameca is expected to generate 359,172 MWh of electricity a year

The photovoltaic plant is expected to supply more than 100,000 homes and avoid about 57,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually. The company equates that to removing more than 12,000 internal combustion vehicles from the road.

Dallas – October 14, 2026 -- Solidion Technology (NASDAQ: STI) says its PEAK Series uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system can cut UPS footprint by up to 30%, based on company testing, as it targets AI data center operators short on floor space.

PEAK Series uses a proprietary 5500 silicon-carbon anode cell

The PEAK Series is a UPS battery system built for AI data centers around Solidion's proprietary 5500 silicon-carbon anode cell. The company says the design is meant to free floor space that operators could otherwise use for servers and additional computing equipment.

Rising power density in AI facilities is increasing pressure on the systems that keep sites running during grid disruptions, according to the company. UPS batteries occupy space that could hold computing hardware and require periodic replacement.

Houston – – October 14, 2026 -- Nightpeak Energy has closed financing on and brought online its 150 MW, two-hour Bocanova 2 battery storage project in Southeast Texas, doubling the Bocanova site to 300 MW as data centers and other large loads drive electricity demand growth on the ERCOT grid.

Bocanova 2 reached commercial operation on September 17

The project is the second phase of Nightpeak's battery development in Brazoria County, near the Houston metropolitan area. The first 150 MW phase, Bocanova 1, began commercial operation in August 2025. The site is located in what the company describes as one of the country's fastest-growing electricity load centers.

Tesla Megapack 2 XL systems anchor the 150 MW build

Bocanova 2 uses Tesla's Megapack 2 XL battery storage systems. It operates under a long-term offtake agreement with an investment-grade counterparty, which the source does not name.

Ordos – October 13, 2026 -- LGMG says its ultra-fast charging electric mining truck can recharge its battery from 20% to 90% in 23 minutes under test conditions, with peak charging power of approximately 3.6 MW. The company presented the truck at its inaugural Global Mining Customer Service Festival in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, held Oct. 9-11 and attended by more than 500 representatives of mining companies, industry organizations, technology partners and the media.

LGMG reports nearly 800 kWh delivered in 18 minutes

The company said its charging system can deliver nearly 800 kWh in 18 minutes under extreme operating conditions. The truck uses a 3C fast-charging architecture and a high-density, large-capacity battery pack. Its dedicated thermal-management system is engineered for temperatures from -30°C to 50°C.

Kingston, Mass. – October 13, 2026 -- Distributed Energy Infrastructure (DEI) has completed the first-ever agrivoltaic cranberry harvests at two Massachusetts wetland solar sites with a combined 5.4 MW of solar capacity and 16.2 MWh of installed storage energy.

The Black Cat Agrivoltaics Project in Plymouth and the Ring Road Agrivoltaics Project in Kingston are owned by developer Greenbacker Renewables and were installed by DEI, an EPC provider for utility-scale solar and storage. DEI describes the harvests as a milestone for extending agrivoltaics into wetland environments.

Two projects pair 5.4 MW of solar with battery storage

The Black Cat project totals 1 MW and includes an energy storage system rated at 500 kVA with 2,700 kWh of installed energy capacity. The Ring Road project totals 4.4 MW and is paired with a 13.5 MWh battery energy storage system.

Hefei – October 08, 2026 -- Chinese battery storage manufacturer HIZENERGY secured multiple letters of intent from European partners after showcasing its commercial and industrial (C&I) battery energy storage systems at two trade exhibitions in September.
