StarCharge has formalised a 500MWh energy storage systems order as part of a strategic partnership with ENERGY INVESTMENT LLC, a company specialising in energy infrastructure investments. The announcement was made at the SNEC 2025 trade fair, confirming the Chinese supplier’s intent to accelerate its foothold in European markets.
A key deal amid regional growth
The agreement includes the supply of 2.5MW/5MWh IEC-standard energy storage containers, eBox-418C commercial and industrial systems, and a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform. These solutions will reinforce local storage capacities in several Eastern European countries, notably Romania, where ENERGY INVESTMENT LLC is already active.
Demand for high-capacity storage solutions is rising across the region, driven by public policies aligned with the European Union’s carbon neutrality targets. The equipment to be delivered will support the deployment of new energy strategies, particularly distributed energy management and grid stabilisation services.
Technology deployed to meet European demand
StarCharge is focusing on international standard compatibility to gain market share in Europe. The use of cloud-integrated solutions via the VPP platform allows for centralised and automated management of storage units—seen as crucial in scenarios involving smart grid integration.
Eastern Europe, amid a transformation of its energy infrastructure, presents favourable conditions for hybrid projects combining renewable energy and storage. The companies involved expect a rapid scale-up of such solutions to meet growing flexibility needs in the power sector.
Commercial expansion and distributed management models
The contract is part of a broader commercial expansion strategy for StarCharge, aiming to position its technology at the core of decentralised energy systems. The company plans a gradual ramp-up of deliveries to target markets, supported by investments in remote digital management solutions.
“This strategic partnership addresses concrete infrastructure needs in Eastern European markets,” a StarCharge representative stated. “Our solutions are designed to meet the region’s challenges in grid stability and multi-source management.”
