Long-Duration Energy Storage: Powering Europe’s Renewable Future image

Sineng Electric leverages global experience to support Europe’s path toward a renewable, resilient power system.

As Europe accelerates its renewable energy deployment, the need for long-duration energy storage (LDES) — systems capable of supplying power for 4 hours or more — is becoming increasingly urgent. From balancing intermittent solar and wind to ensuring grid stability during prolonged periods of low generation, LDES is seen as a cornerstone of Europe’s future energy. Italy and several other European countries are advancing new procurement mechanisms and capacity market incentives to stimulate long-duration storage deployment, addressing the growing mismatch between renewable generation and demand profiles.

Building on extensive global experience, Sineng Electric offers a portfolio of high-efficiency and reliable storage system solutions, proven across diverse environments and applications — from ultra-high-altitude projects to microgrids and industrial facilities. These projects demonstrate the company’s strong technical foundation for supporting Europe’s evolving storage landscape.

Nanjing, China, 25.6 MW / 202.8 MWh C&I storage station — using an 8-hour battery system to balance industrial energy demand and optimize power costs.

Xinjiang, China, 75 MW / 300 MWh all-vanadium flow battery project — designed for high-altitude, low-temperature operation, supporting 4-hour energy shifting to stabilize wind-solar output.
