- BYD will supply 468 MC Cube-T energy storage systems to a project in Chile.
- BYD's energy storage business has been growing rapidly, with cumulative shipments exceeding 135 GWh as of 2025.
BYD has secured a new energy storage order to supply systems for a clean energy project in Chile, marking fresh progress for the company's expanding energy storage business.
The Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) and battery maker partnered with Spanish renewable energy firm Grenergy to secure the new 2.6 GWh overseas order, according to a statement on March 27.
BYD will provide 468 of its MC Cube-T energy storage systems to the Central Oasis solar-plus-storage project in central Chile. The project spans four power stations and forms the core of the regional energy network.
The four solar-storage stations are Gran Teno, Tamango, Planchón, and Monte Águila.
This is not the first collaboration between BYD and Grenergy; the two companies have previously partnered on several large-scale energy storage projects across Latin America.
In May 2025, BYD and Grenergy signed an agreement to supply 3.5 GWh of energy storage systems for the sixth phase of the latter's Oasis Atacama project in northern Chile.
The Central Oasis project features a total energy storage capacity of 4 GWh and a photovoltaic installed capacity of 1.1 GW, with an estimated total investment of about $900 million.
Scheduled to become fully operational between 2026 and 2027, the project aims to replicate the mature integrated solar-and-storage model of Oasis Atacama, providing a more stable and clean power supply system for the local region, according to the statement.
A shipment of 168 energy storage units destined for the Gran Teno station has already been loaded and is expected to arrive at the project site in mid-April, BYD said.
The station is expected to be connected to the grid in the second quarter of this year, indicating that the project is progressing on schedule, with the remaining equipment being shipped in an orderly manner.
BYD‘s energy storage business has expanded rapidly in recent years, with cumulative shipments surpassing 135 GWh as of 2025.
Its energy storage footprint now covers more than 110 countries and regions globally, with over 650 projects implemented.
