Sungrow Secures 130 MWh BESS Deal for 185 MW Solar Park in Albania

Albania's largest privately developed solar park is set to receive battery storage capacity of 130 MWh, under a supply agreement with Sungrow, the global provider of inverters and energy storage systems.

The deal covers a battery energy storage system for Project Blue, a photovoltaic complex with a peak capacity of 185 MW located in Fier, in western Albania. The project receives no government subsidies. The equipment covered by the agreement comprises 26 PowerTitan 2.0 battery units and 13 MVS3460-LS units.

According to Sungrow's announcement, the company's liquid-cooled BESS solution is designed to enhance grid flexibility and facilitate the integration of renewable power into the electricity system.

Who is behind the project

Project Blue is jointly owned and developed by two Albanian companies, Matrix Konstruksion and Blessed Investment Group, which have been expanding the photovoltaic complex in Fier in phases.

Matrix Konstruksion was founded in Tirana in 1995 and delivers turnkey construction and energy projects.

Blessed Investment Group has shifted from advisory work toward principal investing and over the past two decades has built a portfolio spanning renewable energy, real estate, and tourism.

The next phase is already planned

The complex is not stopping at the current build-out. Project Blue's next phase is set to add 164 MW of PV peak capacity alongside an 80 MW / 180 MWh battery storage system, according to the company.

Massimo Bracchi, Country Manager of Sungrow Italy, commented on the project: "Project Blue demonstrates how strong partnerships, innovative technology, and a clear vision can accelerate renewable energy deployment at scale. It will support Albania's clean energy transition, strengthen independence, and help meet the growing demand for clean electricity across the region."

Sungrow's wider reach

For Sungrow, the agreement marks its involvement in Albania's largest privately developed solar park.

As of June 2026, the company has installed more than 1.1 TW of power electronic converters worldwide and supplies energy storage systems and inverters to markets across the globe.

A busy moment for renewables in Southeast Europe

The announcement lands amid a broader wave of renewable energy activity across the region. On the same day, an EU-backed cross-border wind project of 650 MW between Ukraine and Romania was added to the EU's List of Renewable Energy Cross-border Projects, with the wind farm set to supply electricity to Romania.

In Turkey, a record was broken in August with a combined solar and wind output of 9.9 TWh, according to Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar, as the country works toward energy independence.

Elsewhere, renewable energy associations in Romania have called for the financial guarantee for standalone battery projects to be reduced from USD 33,807 to USD 5,634 per MW.

North Macedonia is preparing projects to improve geological research and make better use of geothermal resources and critical raw materials, with the aim of mapping its geothermal potential more precisely.
