Sungrow Wins 7.5 GWh BESS Contract for World's First Gigawatt-Scale 24/7 Renewable Energy Project in UAE

Sungrow, the world's largest solar inverter manufacturer and a major BESS supplier, secured a 7.5 GWh battery energy storage supply contract from Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) and partners for what is described as the world's first gigawatt-scale 24/7 dispatchable renewable energy project in the United Arab Emirates, announced May 22, 2026. Sungrow will supply its PowerTitan 3.0 utility-scale battery storage systems alongside 2.6 GW of PV inverter solutions, making this one of the single-largest integrated solar-plus-storage supply contracts in history. The project is designed to deliver round-the-clock clean electricity by combining large-scale solar generation with the 7.5 GWh storage buffer — enabling dispatchable renewable output regardless of sunlight conditions. Masdar, backed by Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth apparatus, has been aggressively building renewable energy capacity across the Middle East and internationally. The UAE project represents the first demonstration that battery storage at this scale can provide genuine 24/7 clean power delivery without fossil fuel backup in a high-solar-resource environment. At 7.5 GWh, the storage component alone exceeds the capacity of the Moss Landing BESS (3 GWh) and represents the largest single-project battery storage deployment globally. The PowerTitan 3.0 system uses CATL cells and is optimized for utility-scale deployment with integrated liquid cooling and fire suppression. The contract reinforces the UAE's position as a global showcase market for large-scale clean energy projects ahead of anticipated climate targets.
