In response to the growing demand for large-scale energy storage solutions, global market players are rapidly scaling up their capabilities to meet regional energy transition goals. Recently, the world’s largest grid-side energy storage project, totaling 12.5GWh, has received significant momentum as key projects like this one gain traction. With increasing regulations, policy support, and project approvals across various regions, this push toward large-scale storage demonstrates a clear signal of the industry's focus on infrastructure development. In line with this growth, BYD Energy has begun the shipping process for this monumental project, which underscores its ability to swiftly deliver energy storage systems on a global scale.
On April 27th, the long and mighty sound of a steam whistle pierced the sky as 120 units of BYD's MC Cube-T energy storage system cabinets were successfully hoisted and loaded onto a ship at the Beibu Gulf Port in northern Guangxi. As the "vanguard" of the 12.5GWh largest grid-side energy storage project in the world, this batch of BYD cubes embarked on a transoceanic journey, sailing directly to Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, contributing to the region's energy transition.
After securing a collaboration with Saudi Electricity Company for the world’s largest 12.5GWh grid-side energy storage project in early 2025, BYD Energy Storage swiftly commenced the shipping process. A total of 2,364 units of the Cube-T storage cabinets are being shipped in batches to Saudi Arabia at an efficient and orderly pace, once again setting a new industry shipping speed record and reshaping the performance benchmark for global large-scale energy storage projects.
The efficient handling of global large-scale energy storage projects is based on BYD Energy's proactive strategic positioning. From materials research and development, manufacturing processes, and cell design and production capabilities to BMS, EMS, and core equipment such as the Cube-T system, the company insists on full-chain R&D and deep vertical integration. From early-stage energy storage solution customization, shipping, and delivery to later-stage operation and maintenance, BYD has formed a mature, standardized, and process-driven full-cycle management system. Faced with Saudi Arabia’s 12.5GWh ultra-large-scale energy storage project, BYD can quickly complete the initial production, shipping, and transport coordination, ensuring efficient execution with powerful resource allocation and solid support for the project’s successful operation and maintenance.
BYD Energy and its automotive division empower each other through large-scale production and supply chain collaboration, sharing ecological resources. Relying on the capabilities of large-scale manufacturing, BYD supports the rapid delivery of ultra-large-scale energy storage projects in Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Latin America. The MC Cube-T system utilizes BYD’s globally pioneering CTS (Cell-to-System) super-integration technology, with a Vcts (Cell-to-System Volume Ratio) index exceeding 33%, effectively increasing the proportion of core equipment in energy storage stations and enhancing full-life cycle economics. The modular compartmentalized flexible combination design provides multiple advantages, including "easy layout, easy transport, easy installation, easy capacity expansion, and easy maintenance." This not only reduces complex operations during transport but also enables rapid installation and use upon arrival at the project site, further simplifying the construction process and ensuring the project’s timely commissioning.
For 17 years, BYD Energy has focused on the energy storage sector, establishing a global presence and continuously making strides with deep accumulation. By the end of 2024, BYD Energy will have built a global sales, delivery, operation, and after-sales network, with over 75GWh of commercial operational experience. The company has successfully delivered over 360 energy storage projects, with applications across more than 110 countries and regions worldwide.
As the winds rise and the waves break, BYD Energy sails confidently towards the vast ocean. With solid project achievements validating its strength, BYD is prepared to meet diverse challenges. In the future, BYD Energy will continue to drive global energy transition through technological innovation, contributing more "Chinese energy" and leading the industry to new heights.
