Jinko ESS, a prominent energy storage company based in China, and European industrial company Metlen have signed a landmark Frame Agreement to cement their strategic partnership in utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS). The agreement, signed at Metlen’s Athens headquarters, is intended to establish a framework for deploying over 3 GWh of energy storage projects across market in Chile and Europe.
The partnership builds around the successful 1.6 GWh project currently underway in Chile, where Jinko ESS is supplying its G2 Utility systems for full delivery by Q4 2025. This collaboration highlights Jinko ESS’s rapid ascent in the global BESS sector and Metlen Group’s strategic expansion as an energy transition enabler, and intends to combine Jinko ESS’s BESS technology with Metlen’s expertise in addressing critical grid stability challenges.
“Metlen’s proven energy infrastructure capabilities and Jinko ESS’s technological innovation create an unmatched value proposition for grid operators,” stated Mr. Zhou, CEO of Jinko ESS. “This framework ensures long-term supply security while accelerating the clean energy transition in strategic markets.”
Metlen currently has a pipeline totalling 12.7 GW in various stages and locations, and more specifically, 2.6 GW in storage projects.
