Battery storage agreements expand across France, Japan, and Réunion
Decade Energy signed a two-year framework with Sungrow for 200 MWh of battery storage in France, aimed at flexible-power sites including commercial transport and logistics depots. Vena Energy won a 46.828 MW award in Japan’s FY2025 Long-Term Decarbonisation Power Source Auction for its NRE Nakagawa No. 2 battery project. Langa obtained BPCE financing for an 18 MWh battery on Réunion Island, where local storage helps balance limited island grids.
Decade Energy’s two-year deal with Sungrow covers 200 MWh of storage hardware for France. Its flexible power platform focuses on freight and logistics facilities, where charging electric trucks can create sharp demand peaks. The company raised €22 million in 2026 to scale in France and move into markets including Germany.
Vena Energy’s 46.828 MW award in Japan’s FY2025 long-term decarbonisation auction backs its NRE Nakagawa No. 2 project, improving revenue predictability. Langa’s BPCE-financed 18 MWh battery on Réunion will help the island’s grid absorb variable renewable output locally.
These projects could affect logistics firms, grid operators, and island communities. In France, depots may need fewer grid upgrades while charging electric trucks; in Japan, auction-backed storage may strengthen investor confidence; on Réunion, local batteries could support reliability as solar expands. Actual outcomes may depend on construction, operation, and grid conditions.
