CATL Introduces TENER+ and TENER Sodium Energy Storage Systems at All Energy 2026

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) introduced its TENER+ and TENER Sodium energy storage systems globally at the All Energy Australia 2026 event. Alongside the product unveiling, the company signed three memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with local organizations to support grid connection and deployment in Australia.

According to CATL, the newly announced systems are engineered to address the operational and climatic demands of Australian utility-scale energy projects. Company executives noted that the initiative aims to provide developers with reliable options as the national power grid integrates higher proportions of renewable generation.

System Specifications and Capabilities

• TENER+: A 9 MWh ultra-high-capacity energy storage system designed to reduce container counts by up to 40% and project footprint by 12%. It incorporates liquid cooling, a 25-year design life, and a top-exhaust design that directs hot air vertically.
• TENER Sodium: A sodium-ion battery storage system delivering over 30 MWh through modular cabinet architecture, operating at temperatures up to 55 °C with a 20-year operational life.

Strategic Partnerships and Industry Collaboration

To facilitate integration and address grid reliability challenges, CATL announced agreements and collaborations with several entities:

• Hitachi Energy: Combining CATL's DC battery products with Hitachi Energy's power conversion systems for standardized regional deployment.
• EPEC Group and ESVL: Collaborating on engineering execution, grid integration, and full-scale system validation.
• UNSW Sydney: Partnering to establish the Integrated Renewable Energy Training and Innovation Centre in western Sydney.

Industry data cited by CATL from SNE Research indicates the company led global energy storage battery shipments for five consecutive years, achieving a 30.4% market share in 2025. Verification of these product specifications and partnership terms can be pursued through official corporate press releases and statements issued by CATL and its participating collaborators.
