Efficiently extracting valuable metals from end-of-life batteries to provide secondary resources for production and promote green recycling. Long Press 2026 SMM Battery Technology Conference

In the first quarter of 2026, global energy storage system shipments reached 100.0 GWh, a 96.5% increase from 50.9 GWh in the same period of 2025, bringing quarterly shipments to an entirely new scale.

Sungrow announced that it won a 7.5 Gwh energy storage order in the UAE, partnering with international renewable energy company Masdar to supply 7.5 Gwh PowerTitan3.0 liquid-cooled ESS and 2.6 GW inverters for the UAE RTC1Plant (North) project. The project is the world's largest 684Ah stacked battery cell application project and is expected to be connected to grid in 2027.

Overall, the aluminum processing industry achieved a slight edge up in operating rate this week, driven by the recovery of export orders, the surge in energy storage demand, and the recovery of infrastructure-related orders. The industry maintained relatively strong resilience, and going forward, attention should be focused on the sustainability of export orders and the boosting effect of aluminum price trends on demand.

The company recently won a bid for a 7.5 GWh energy storage order in the UAE, collaborating with international renewable energy company Masdar to supply 7.5 GWh PowerTitan3.0 liquid-cooled ESS and 2.6 GW inverters for the UAE RTC 1 Plant (North) project. This project is the world's largest 684Ah stacked battery cell application project, expected to be connected to grid in 2027.

On the evening of April 28, Guangzhou Great Power Energy and Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter short as Great Power) released its 2025 annual report and Q1 2026 quarterly report. The company's revenue and profit rose significantly, with its energy storage business delivering outstanding performance. Impressive Results: Revenues sustained high growth, up nearly 200% YoY in 2026 Q1 Its financial report showed that in full-year 2025, the company achieved total revenue of 11.943 billion yuan, up 50.04% YoY; net profit attributable to shareholders of the publicly listed firm reached 206 million yuan, up 181.61% YoY. Entering 2026, Great Power's performance continued its high growth trajectory. According to its Q1 financial data, the company achieved total revenue of 4.768 billion yuan, up 182.14% YoY. The company's energy storage business shipments and revenue both grew QoQ, demonstrating strong growth resilience, with Q1 profit alone already surpassing the full-year figure of last year.
