Trina Storage announced it is expanding its strategic partnership with Lightshift Energy, a leading U.S. developer, owner, and operator of energy storage systems.
The partnership will deliver over 1 gigwatt-hour (GWh) of enegy storage projects across the country. It will also strengthen Lightshift’s position of deploying fleets of distribution-connected batteries to enable fast and scalable delivery.
The portfolio will utilize Trina Storage’s Elementa 2.0 and 2.5 energy storage solution, designed for high efficiency, safety, and dependable performance under diverse operating conditions. The installations will support utilities and communities through greater grid stability, peak load management, and flexible capacity.
In 2024, the partners installed four projects in Groton, Holden, and Paxton, Massachusetts. Two sites were commissioned ahead of schedule to provide critical capacity to local utilities during periods of elevated demand.
“We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Lightshift through this significant milestone,” said Doug Alderton, Head of Sales, Trina Storage North America, in a statement. “Our earlier joint projects demonstrate what our strong partnership can accomplish under demanding conditions. Trina Storage is dedicated to delivering more reliable, flexible energy storage to communities across the U.S. and we look forward to supporting Lightshift in making our shared vision a reality.”
The continuing partnership is supported by regional teams and partners to ensure local system integration, EMS coordination, grid testing, and onsite commissioning for efficient project execution and reliable performance.
Mike Herbert, Managing Partner at Lightshift Energy, added, “Lightshift is committed to scaling high-value storage assets that support the reliability and evolution of the U.S. power system. We are proud to continue our work alongside Trina Storage on projects that advance our strategy and reflect our continued focus on delivering solutions that strengthen grid resilience, address load growth, and provide consistent, high-quality performance for the customers and communities we serve.”
