Sungrow, a global leader in PV inverters and energy storage systems, has signed a supply agreement with EP Produzione for a 100 MW / 220 MWh utility-scale energy storage project in Trapani, Sicily. The project will feature Sungrow’s PowerTitan 2.0 solution and marks the company’s first deployment of this platform in Italy. The agreement reinforces Sungrow’s role in supporting the energy transition and expanding grid flexibility in Europe.
Massimo Bracchi, Country Manager Italy, said, “We are proud to accompany EP Produzione in this strategic project for Sicily. With PowerTitan 2.0, we provide a next-generation energy storage platform designed to enhance grid reliability and support large-scale integration of renewable energy.”
The Trapani project is designed to improve grid stability and facilitate the integration of renewable energy in a densely populated region. The 2-hour Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will provide services such as frequency regulation, peak shaving, and load balancing, supporting the growth of solar PV both regionally and across Europe. Luca Alippi, CEO of EP Produzione, noted that this project represents their third electrochemical storage initiative in Italy and is an important step toward a more flexible and sustainable energy system.
The project will consist of 44 units of the PowerTitan 2.0 system, which combines high performance, reliability, and safety for utility-scale applications. Key features include a highly integrated architecture with natively interoperable PCS, BMS, and EMS for faster commissioning and centralized management, liquid cooling and high energy density for improved performance and lifespan, and advanced control functions for intelligent charge and discharge management. Sungrow has also conducted the world’s largest BESS burn test for the PowerTitan 2.0 to ensure exceptional safety standards.
The platform’s innovative all-in-one AC-DC block design, with pre-assembled battery modules and PCS, reduces both capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX), and shortens installation times, supporting seamless integration for large-scale projects. Italy is a key market for Sungrow’s expansion in energy storage and PV solutions due to its ambitious energy transition goals and increasing demand for grid flexibility. Sungrow maintains a dedicated local presence with a strong European network for sales, technical support, and after-sales services, ensuring full project lifecycle support.
The company has also opened a new office in Milan, hosted dedicated ESS events, and regularly participates in major industry gatherings like Key Energy. With over 18 years of experience in Europe, Sungrow operates more than 25 local offices, employs over 750 professionals, and runs two R&D teams in the region. The Trapani project demonstrates Sungrow’s commitment to delivering advanced, reliable, and safe energy storage solutions that support the continent’s renewable energy ambitions.
