Hithium and Turbo Energy have announced the deployment of an AI-enabled battery energy storage project across 15 industrial facilities in Europe, combining 366 MWh of storage capacity with AI-driven energy management.
The project, unveiled at Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, marks the first deployment under the companies’ strategic partnership announced earlier this year. It will serve a major European industrial group, with 21 Hithium battery containers, each providing 6.25 MWh of storage, delivered so far. According to the companies, more than 130 MWh of storage capacity has already been installed.
The battery systems use Hithium’s 4-hour, 1175 Ah LFP battery technology and integrate Turbo Energy’s AI-driven optimisation platform for the first time at industrial scale.
According to the companies, the software continuously optimises the interaction between renewable generation, battery storage and industrial electricity consumption, using predictive analytics, demand forecasting and real-time operational data to manage energy flows.
Kelson Li, vice president of Hithium Europe, said: “Our partnership with Turbo Energy reflects Hithium’s commitment to delivering intelligent, high-performance energy storage solutions tailored to the needs of Europe’s large-scale commercial and industrial enterprises.
“As industrial customers face increasing pressure from energy cost volatility, grid constraints and decarbonization targets, the combination of advanced long-duration battery storage and AI-driven energy management is becoming increasingly critical. By integrating Hithium’s proven battery storage technology with Turbo Energy’s optimization capabilities, we are enabling large-scale C&I customers to deploy more resilient, efficient and economically optimized energy infrastructures. This project demonstrates how software-defined energy storage can deliver measurable operational and financial value for energy-intensive enterprises while supporting a more sustainable industrial energy future.”
Mariano Soria, chief executive officer of Turbo Energy, said: “This project demonstrates how industrial energy infrastructure is evolving beyond hardware. The next generation of energy systems will be defined by intelligence, optimization and real-time decision-making. By combining Hithium’s advanced storage technology with Turbo Energy’s AI-driven platform, we are transforming battery systems into intelligent energy assets capable of adapting to industrial operating conditions, improving efficiency and supporting long-term competitiveness.
“We believe software-defined energy infrastructure will become a critical foundation for the future of industrial electrification, where artificial intelligence enables energy systems to operate with greater efficiency, resilience and autonomy.”
The companies said the deployment transforms conventional battery storage into a software-defined energy infrastructure capable of coordinating renewable generation, storage and industrial demand across multiple sites in real time.
Hithium and Turbo Energy said the project also represents an important milestone in their strategic partnership, with plans to accelerate the deployment of AI-enabled commercial and industrial energy storage systems in international markets.
