Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the upcoming 2025 Lithium Battery Industry Annual Conference and the Lithium Battery Golden Tripod Award Ceremony, emphasizing the theme of "New Cycle, New Ecology, New Technology" [2]. Event Details - The event is scheduled for December 18-19, 2025, at the Venus Royal Hotel in Shenzhen, China [2]. - It is organized by Qidian Lithium Battery, Qidian Energy Storage, and Qidian Research Institute SPIR [2]. - Various sponsors and speakers include notable companies such as Huizhou Tonghu Eco-Wisdom Zone Management Committee, YiFei Laser, and CATL [2]. Industry Developments - CATL has signed a framework supply agreement with Singapore's renewable energy developer Vena Energy to provide a 4GWh EnerX Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) solution [2][3]. - The BESS solution utilizes 530Ah cells, with each 20-foot container having a capacity of 5.6MWh [3]. - The project aims to address Singapore's land scarcity for large-scale renewable energy projects, in line with the "Green Economic Corridor" agreement between Indonesia and Singapore, which plans to deploy over 2GWp of solar photovoltaic projects in Indonesia [3]. Historical Context - Previous articles have reported significant developments in the lithium battery sector, including price surges in lithium iron phosphate raw materials and increased production capacity by CATL in Europe [3].

Core Viewpoint - CATL has signed a framework supply agreement with Vena Energy to provide 4GWh of EnerX battery energy storage systems (BESS) to its local subsidiary in Indonesia, addressing Singapore's land constraints for large-scale renewable energy projects [1][2]. Group 1: Project Details - The BESS solution utilizes 530Ah cells, with each 20-foot container having a capacity of 5.6MWh [1]. - The project is part of a "green economic corridor" agreement between Indonesia and Singapore, aiming to deploy over 2GWp of solar photovoltaic projects in the Riau Islands, with an expected annual export of approximately 2.6 terawatt-hours of dispatchable clean energy to Singapore [1]. Group 2: Previous Collaborations - This is not the first collaboration between CATL and Vena Energy; in July 2025, CATL signed an agreement with Vanda RE for a total procurement of 2.2GWh of battery storage systems for a solar and storage project in the Riau Islands [2]. - The Vanda RE project plans to simultaneously construct a 2GW solar power station and a 4.4GWh storage system, which will become one of the largest integrated solar and storage projects in Southeast Asia upon completion [2].
