Huawei, EVE Energy secure major battery storage deals in Central and Eastern Europe

With major players announcing 1 GWh of supply deals in a single week, Central and Eastern Europe is rapidly emerging as a key battleground for Chinese battery storage companies.

Independent power producer GoldenPeaks Capital (GPC) and the Polish arm of China’s battery manufacturer Huawei have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the deployment of 500 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across central and eastern Europe.

As part of the agreement, Huawei will supply its advanced all-scenario, grid-forming energy storage platform, supporting GPC’s pipeline of storage projects – particularly in Poland and Hungary, where GPC has already developed a 1.7 GW solar portfolio.

The partnership marks a strategic expansion of GPC’s energy storage business. In 2025 alone, the company added 54 MW/216 MWh of BESS capacity, bringing its total ready-to-build storage pipeline to 392 MW/1.6 GWh. All of these projects have secured 17-year revenue guarantees under Poland’s capacity market auctions.

The MoU also reinforces a long-standing relationship between GPC and Huawei, which began seven years ago and has played a key role in the stable operation of GPC’s solar assets in the region.

In a separate but parallel development, Chinese battery manufacturer EVE Energy signed a 500 MWh strategic cooperation agreement with Polish PV system integrator CommVOLT Sp. z o.o. during the Solar & Storage Live UK 2025 trade show. The partnership aims to deliver battery storage projects that enhance grid stability and renewable energy integration across central and eastern Europe.

While the companies did not specify which products would be delivered, EVE used the event to showcase its Mr. Flagship Series, including the mass-produced 628Ah ‘Mr. Big’ cell and the integrated 5 MWh DC energy storage system ‘Mr. Giant’, which has already been deployed in projects in Australia and Europe.

EVE Energy recently set an industry milestone by deploying the first utility-scale battery storage project based on 628Ah ultra-large-format cells and completing its first overseas shipments, signaling growing global momentum behind large-format lithium ion battery storage cells.
