System integrator Alfen and battery company CATL have struck a 5GWh partnership for sodium-ion BESS deployments in Europe.

Netherlands-headquartered Alfen and China-headquartered CATL announced the collaboration today (16 July). The pair will work to deploy 5GWh of CATL’s sodium-ion battery energy storage systems across Europe.

CATL launched its sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) for the European market at the Smarter E Europe trade show in Germany last month. CATL hasn’t revealed which sodium-ion chemistry it is using, but sodium iron pyrophosphate (NFPP) is emerging as the most common in BESS applications.

The companies have previously collaborated on lithium-ion BESS projects in Europe. Michael Colijn, CEO of Alfen, said: “Sodium-ion is the next step in how we think about energy storage – more diversified, resilient, and built for where the market is heading. This step with CATL puts us ahead of that curve, and we’re looking forward to continuing this partnership.”

Battery Asset Management Summit Europe is the annual meeting for owners, operators, investors, and optimisation specialists working with operational BESS assets across the continent. The Summit focuses on how to maximise performance and revenue, manage degradation, integrate advanced optimisation software, navigate evolving market and regulatory frameworks, and plan for repowering or end-of-life strategies. With insights from Europe’s most active storage markets, it equips attendees with practical guidance to run resilient, profitable battery portfolios as the sector scales.

ESS Tech Inc is deploying sodium-ion BESS in the US with Juniper Energy, while CATL deploys its sodium-ion technology in Eastern Europe with Solarpro.

In this news roundup, Grenergy, MaxSolar and Saft, and Amarenco have made significant advancements on BESS projects in Spain, Germany, and France.

Germany will have its first capacity market (CM) auction in September this year, following confirmation from the country’s energy regulator.

BESS has huge potential to be deployed alongside AI data centres, but how are industry players positioning themselves to capture this opportunity?

Spain has awarded €165 million to seven pumped hydro storage projects totalling around 2.1GW/21GWh, while Portugal has set a target of 1.4GW of new pumped hydro capacity by 2040.
