Recently, JinkoSolar Energy, a leading global energy storage company and a subsidiary of JinkoSolar Energy Co., Ltd., signed a memorandum of understanding with UCB Power during the 2026 South American Intersolar exhibition. The two sides will cooperate on the localized manufacturing of Brazilian battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The cooperation aims to combine the technology, product portfolio, and international experience of JinkoSolar Energy Storage with UCB Power's industrial capabilities, technical knowledge, and local market advantages, in preparation for participating in projects that require the use of locally manufactured equipment.
The demand for energy storage in the Brazilian electricity market is accelerating. The role of energy storage in enhancing the flexibility and reliability of the power grid, alleviating the bottleneck of transmission and distribution batteries, and supporting the large-scale integration of renewable energy is becoming increasingly prominent. Both parties will first evaluate the opportunities brought by the Brazilian Energy Storage Capacity Reserve Auction (LRCAP) - after BESS is included in this mechanism, the ability of localized supply chains will directly determine the delivery level of large-scale projects.
近日，全球领先的储能企业晶科储能，作为晶科能源股份有限公司的子公司，在2026年南美Intersolar展会期间与UCB Power签署谅解备忘录，双方将围绕巴西电池储能系统（BESS）的本地化制造开展合作。
该合作旨在将晶科储能的技术、产品组合及国际经验，与UCB Power的工业能力、技术知识及本地市场优势相结合，为参与须采用本地制造设备的项目做准备。
巴西电力市场对储能的需求正在加速释放。储能在提升电网灵活性与可靠性、缓解输配电瓶颈、支撑可再生能源更大规模并网中的作用日益突出。双方将首先评估巴西储能容量储备拍卖（Leilão de Reserva de Capacidade，LRCAP）带来的机会——BESS被纳入该机制后，本地化供应链的能力将直接决定大规模项目的交付水平。
The first localization route will prioritize UCB Power's factory located in Extrema, Minas Gerais state, and other options will be evaluated based on market demand and project requirements in the future. If localized manufacturing is achieved, related products can also apply for local financing support such as the Brazilian National Development Bank (BNDES) credit line.
The product included in the localization evaluation is the JinkoSolar Blue Whale SunTera G3 energy storage system, with a capacity of 6.25MWh and 587Ah battery cells. It has increased energy density while maintaining the same container dimensions and is currently in the final certification stage.
UCB Power has been engaged in battery and energy storage manufacturing in Brazil for over 50 years, with mature industrial infrastructure and local market accumulation. It will undertake the evaluation and development of localized processes.
首条本地化路线优先考虑UCB Power位于米纳斯吉拉斯州埃斯特雷马（Extrema）的工厂，后续视市场需求与项目要求评估其他方案。若实现本地化制造，相关产品还可申请巴西国家开发银行（BNDES）信贷额度等本地融资支持。
纳入本地化评估的产品为晶科蓝鲸SunTera G3储能系统，容量6.25MWh，采用587Ah电芯，在集装箱外形尺寸不变的情况下提升了能量密度，目前处于认证收尾阶段。
UCB Power在巴西从事电池与储能制造超过五十年，拥有成熟的工业基础设施与本地市场积累，将承担本地化工艺的评估与开发工作。
This memorandum is the first step in aligning Jingke Energy Storage's global supply capacity with UCB Power's local industrial capabilities. In addition to LRCAP, the cooperation between the two parties will also cover scenarios such as improving grid stability and flexibility, alleviating the bottleneck of transmission and distribution batteries, and connecting renewable energy to the grid, and extend to industrial, commercial, and high energy consuming industries. The combination of international technology, local industrial capabilities, and financing channels is expected to lower the application threshold of BESS in Brazil and accelerate the implementation of energy storage projects of different scales.
此次备忘录是晶科储能全球供应能力与UCB Power本土工业能力对接的第一步。除LRCAP外，双方的合作还将覆盖电网稳定性与灵活性提升、输配电瓶颈缓解、可再生能源并网等场景，并延伸至工商业与高耗能行业。国际技术、本地工业能力与融资渠道的叠加，有望降低BESS在巴西的应用门槛，加快不同规模储能项目的落地。
