AESC and NEXTES, a Japanese energy storage system integrator, have\nofficially announced a strategic three-year partnership at SMART ENERGY\nWEEK in Tokyo. Under this agreement, AESC will supply energy storage\ncells with a volume of 1.5 GWh starting from 2026\u2014the largest single ESS\ncell order by volume in the Japanese market this year.<\/p>\n
Japan\u2019s energy storage market is known for its stringent standards,\nranging from JIS certification, compatibility with domestic grid\nfrequency and voltage characteristics, to long-term performance\ncommitments with capacity warranties of up to 20 years. AESC\u2019s strengths\nin producing large-capacity energy storage cells\u2014leading the\ntechnological transition from 300+ Ah to 500+ Ah and up to 700+ Ah\u2014were\nkey factors in NEXTES\u2019s decision to select AESC as a partner.\nAdditionally, AESC boasts a comprehensive global certification\nportfolio, including JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), IEC\n(International Electrotechnical Commission), and UL (Underwriters\nLaboratories). Furthermore, AESC\u2019s products have recorded zero critical\nincidents, with over 100 GWh of energy storage cells delivered\nglobally.<\/p>\n
As NEXTES expands its projects beyond Japan, AESC\u2019s global\nmanufacturing network across Asia, Europe, and North America\u2014with a\ntotal of 14 gigawatt-scale production plants in Japan, China, the United\nStates, the United Kingdom, France, and Spain\u2014supports both companies in\nmeeting various regional certification requirements while enabling\nlarge-scale, long-term operational collaboration. In Japan, AESC\u2019s\nresearch and development facilities and plant in Yokohama provide\ntechnical support and supply chain assistance to NEXTES.<\/p>\n
Japan\u2019s grid-scale energy storage market is projected to continue\ngrowing, driven by the accelerated adoption of renewable energy and\nsustainable electricity market reforms. This partnership positions AESC\nand NEXTES strategically to capture these opportunities through a supply\nchain prioritising safety, certified quality, and long-term\nperformance.<\/p>\n
