China CATL has officially launched the TENER Sodium-ion Energy Storage System, marking the world's 1st field-validated sodium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
Designed for longer service life & better adaptability to extreme temps;
- Operates for 15,000 cycles at 25°C (70% state of health), providing an est'd 25- to 30-year operational life
- Delivers over 10,000 cycles at extreme heat (45°C) & retains over 92% capacity in extreme cold (-20°C)
While sodium-ion chemistry inherently possesses a lower energy density than lithium-ion, its massive advantages in material abundance, safety, and supply chain stability make it highly competitive for stationary grid applications and data centers.
Roadmap - Reach 1GWh by the end of this year & global deliveries in June 2027
