Trina Storage in December announced its expanding strategic partnership with Lightshift Energy, a U.S. developer, owner, and operator of energy storage systems. This partnership will deliver a portfolio greater than 1 GWh of energy storage projects across the United States.
The portfolio will utilize Trina Storage's Elementa 2.0 & 2.5 energy storage solution, which is engineered for high efficiency, intrinsic safety, and dependable performance under diverse operating conditions,Trina said.
Lightshift Energy has worked with public power utilities to develop a number of energy storage projects including in Virginia and Massachusetts.
"These installations will support utilities and local communities through enhanced grid stability, peak load management, and flexible capacity as increased power demand and extreme weather threaten grid stability nationwide. The partnership will strengthen Lightshift's unique position deploying fleets of distribution-connected batteries, enabling fast, scalable delivery and direct support for load growth while improving reliability and generating significant savings for Lightshift's customers," it said.
Trina Storage and Lightshift have previously demonstrated successful collaboration and strong execution, including four projects in Groton, Holden, and Paxton, Massachusetts in 2024.
During a Northeast heatwave, Trina Storage commissioned two sites ahead of schedule, providing critical capacity to local utilities during periods of elevated demand. These results highlighted the effectiveness of coordinated planning, responsive delivery, and consistent system performance in the field, it said.
"The continuing partnership and large GWh portfolio highlights Trina Storage's expertise in U.S. energy storage project engineering, certification, commissioning, and operations. Supported by regional teams and partners, the company delivers local system integration, EMS coordination, grid testing, and onsite commissioning, ensuring efficient project execution and reliable performance."
