Three companies, including Huawei, have recently secured contracts, signaling a significant uptick in the European commercial and industrial energy storage market. As the world’s second-largest market in this sector—trailing only China—the European commercial and industrial energy storage market is poised for growth in 2025, with a continuous rise in orders.
Huawei Digital Energy, Desay Battery, and Seg New Energy have announced strategic agreements that encompass commercial and industrial energy storage collaborations in regions such as Italy and Hungary, with orders exceeding 1 GWh.
Huawei Digital Energy: Partnership in Italy
Recently, Huawei Digital Energy signed a cooperation agreement with the Italian commercial photovoltaic system company Albasolar. The two companies will collaborate to develop commercial and industrial energy storage system solutions and integrate energy management systems to maximize energy efficiency.
Their first demonstration project involves a storage project for the equipment manufacturing company GAI Macchine in Ceresole d’Alba, Italy. This project includes a 4.4 MW/8.8 MWh energy storage system along with a 6 MW photovoltaic system.
Desay Battery: Supply of Energy Storage Systems
Desay Battery has signed a framework procurement agreement with Turkish investor and contractor Hyt Enerji to supply 200 sets of its self-developed 215 kWh integrated commercial energy storage systems, with plans for delivery by the end of 2026. This energy storage system is based on Desay Battery’s comprehensive self-researched technology and utilizes 280 Ah lithium iron phosphate cells. It is designed to operate stably in extreme conditions ranging from -30℃ to 60℃ thanks to intelligent temperature control and multi-layer safety protection technologies.
The system supports virtual power plant grid connection and dynamic pricing optimization, allowing it to adapt to Hungary’s grid frequency regulation needs while helping Hyt Enerji enhance its green energy revenues. This partnership not only helps Desay Battery integrate quickly into the Central European renewable energy ecosystem but also leverages its operational experience to create a replicable “solar-storage integration” business model, enhancing its comprehensive solution capabilities for the European commercial and industrial storage and grid side.
Seg New Energy: Major Energy Storage Contracts
During the Intersolar Europe 2025 event, Seg New Energy secured a total of over 1.2 GWh in energy storage cooperation agreements. This includes a framework cooperation agreement with Aprilice, the largest photovoltaic equipment distributor in Northern Europe, covering both residential and commercial energy storage solutions.
Market Trends and Future Outlook
Supported by fluctuating electricity prices, subsidy policies, and technological advancements, the growth of the European commercial and industrial energy storage market is evident. According to a report from Energy Storage Expert, the newly installed capacity of commercial and industrial energy storage in Europe is expected to reach 19.6 GWh by 2028, increasing its market share from 12% in 2024 to 25%.
It is important to note that, in addition to residential and large-scale energy storage companies, EMS manufacturers are also expanding into the European commercial and industrial energy storage market. Recent orders from Chinese energy storage companies indicate that they are primarily signing agreements with investors and distributors, reflecting a dual market expansion strategy through both distribution and project models.
Hengtai Energy recently remarked on the opportunities at the Munich Intersolar 2025, stating that European commercial and industrial energy storage is on the rise. As EMS manufacturers consider transitioning into roles as commercial and industrial storage agents or investors, they face the challenge of a single profit model combined with their end-client resources.
Currently, energy storage product prices in Europe are declining. Some manufacturers may be reducing prices to manage inventory pressures or to capture market share, offering at around €150/kWh (DDP), equivalent to approximately ¥1209.96, which translates to ¥1.20996/Wh. The FOB price generally ranges between €120 to €160.
Considering rising exchange rates, manufacturers may have an added profit margin of about 5%.
