Borrego Signs Agreement with Gotion High-Tech to Supply Energy Storage Equipment for Utility-Scale Projects

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Borrego, a leading EPC and O&M provider for large-scale solar and energy storage projects throughout the United States, announced today that it has entered into a master supply agreement (MSA) with Gotion High-Tech, one of the world's leading battery and energy storage system manufacturers. The supply deal will provide Borrego with gigawatt-hours of secure, fixed-price volume capacity of Gotion's DC block storage equipment, which will be available for customer delivery starting in 2023.

Gotion is a global tier-one vertically integrated stationary and EV battery and storage system manufacturer, with multi-gigawatt-hour production capacities.

"This MSA with a prestigious brand like Gotion helps Borrego continue to grow its supply of energy storage equipment from top-tier manufacturers," said John duPont, vice president of business development and operations at Borrego. "We have a multi-gigawatt-hour vendor pipeline of storage products at fixed pricing available for utility and distributed generation projects requiring delivery in 2023-2025. This locked-in capacity will help our customers avoid expected supply chain constraints when the Inflation Reduction Act kicks in."

"Gotion is looking to expand both its energy storage and U.S. market footprints, and finding a trusted partner like Borrego will help us achieve our goals," said Vikash Venkataramana, vice president of energy storage systems at Gotion. "We look forward to building a long-term relationship with Borrego as both companies play major roles in accelerating the clean energy transition."

U.S. energy storage deployments are forecast to surge to 600 GWh by 2031, according to Wood Mackenzie's recent Global Energy Storage Outlook. Average annual installations of stand-alone and solar-plus-storage systems are expected to reach 54 GWh through 2031.
