GoldenPeaks Capital and Huawei in Poland have signed a memorandum of understanding for 500 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Central and Eastern Europe.

Huawei will provide its grid-forming energy storage platform from its Huawei Digital Power suite. GoldenPeaks Capital will deploy the systems in Poland and Hungary and potentially other countries.

GoldenPeaks Capital is a large independent power producer in Central and Eastern Europe, and has been adding battery storage to its portfolio. Already in 2025, it added 54 MW/216 MWh of storage, bringing its total ready-to-build storage portfolio to 392 MW/1.6 GWh. The company said its projects have 17-year revenue guarantees through Poland’s capacity market auctions.

“The signing of this MoU is an important milestone in the strategic cooperation between Huawei and GPC,” said Jianjun Zhou, Vice President of Huawei and President of Global Marketing, Sales and Services of Huawei Digital Power. “Huawei Digital Power will support GPC’s energy storage strategy in Europe with All-Scenario Grid Forming capabilities and end-to-end high-quality standards covering R&D, production, and services, to jointly respond to the EU’s carbon neutrality goals.”

Adriano Agosti, Founder and Chairman of GoldenPeaks Capital said: “Huawei’s technological innovation and GPC’s regional business presence complement each other seamlessly. Together we are setting new industry benchmarks in advanced battery storage systems.”

The agreement was signed by Fubin Lu, Chief Procurement Officer of GPC, and Nathan Zhao, Director of Huawei Poland Digital Power. Adriano Agosti, Founder and Chairman of GPC, and Jianjun Zhou, Vice President of Huawei and President of Global Marketing, Sales and Services of Huawei Digital Power, attended the signing ceremony.

The companies did not disclose the timeline or exact projects or locations for the 500 MWh deployment.

Opinion & Analysis

When will there be nationwide financing solutions for battery storage systems in Germany? The use of battery storage systems is essential for the success of the energy transition and the best possible use of renewable energies, but also for being able to temporarily store surplus energy from other sources. Technically, there are already solutions for all possible sizes of battery storage systems, from private home storage systems to large-scale storage systems with a capacity of more than 50 MWh. But what about the financing of battery storage systems, is it already offered as standard?

Voltwise: Extend German grid fee exemption for large batteries to 2034 Germany's Federal Network Agency is consulting on a proposed overhaul of its grid fees to introduce a General Grid-Fee System (AgNES). Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are currently exempt from the charges and Voltwise's head of German operations, Thorsten Klöpper, is suggesting a three-stage system which takes account of battery-related grid benefits.

Opinion & Analysis

Falling li-ion battery prices mirror solar photovoltaics trends: Is there a role for second-life batteries before recycling? Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, powering everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, residential PV storage systems, and, more recently, mitigating curtailment in large-scale wind and solar power plants. EVs are driving large-scale demand for Li-ion batteries which will result in substantial volumes of spent batteries in the near future. This scenario highlights the potential for repurposing EV batteries for second-life stationary applications, which could maximise their value before recycling. However, to fully realise this opportunity, several economic, technical, and regulatory challenges must be addressed and resolved.
