Sungrow and EP Produzione: Supply Agreement for 220 MWh Battery Storage Project in Sicily

MILAN, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, announces the signing of a supply agreement with EP Produzione for the supply of the PowerTitan 2.0 solution in a 100 MW / 220 MWh utility-scale ESS project in Trapani, Sicily. This agreement consolidates the company's role in supporting the energy transition and is Sungrow's first project in Italy with the PowerTitan 2.0.

"We are proud to accompany EP Produzione in this strategic project for Sicily," says Massimo Bracchi, Country Manager Italy. "With PowerTitan 2.0, we are providing a latest-generation ESS platform designed to enable grid reliability and massive integration of renewables for putting forward the energy transition." 

A strategic project for grid flexibility in Sicily

The 2-hour Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) PowerTitan 2.0 will help improve grid stability and the integration of renewables in a highly populated region. Moreover, it will enable services such as frequency regulation, peak shaving and balancing in a geographical area that is crucial for the growth of PV in the country and Europe.

"The agreement with Sungrow represents an important step in our journey towards a more flexible and sustainable energy system. This project in Trapani is the third electrochemical storage project we have launched in Italy. Storage systems are a fundamental component of the technological mix needed for the energy transition, which is why we are working to expand our project pipeline," said Luca Alippi, CEO of EP Produzione.

PowerTitan 2.0: performance, safety and end-to-end integration

The project will consist of 44 units of Sungrow's PowerTitan 2.0 solution designed to maximise the efficiency, reliability and safety of utility-scale projects. It features amongst others:

• Highly integrated architecture (natively interoperable PCS, BMS and EMS) for faster commissioning and centralised management;
• Liquid cooling and high energy density for better performance and life cycle;
• Advanced control functions for grid services and intelligent charge and discharge cycle management.
• As safety is the priority of energy storage systems, Sungrow conducted the world's largest BESS burn test for the PowerTitan 2.0, enabling exceptional safety for plants.

In addition, the PowerTitan 2.0's pioneering technology significantly reduces both capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) costs. The all-in-one AC-DC block design of PowerTitan 2.0, with pre-assembled battery modules and PCS, ensures seamless integration, significantly reducing installation time.
