    Energy technologies firm Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) has signed a three-year Master Supply Agreement with energy storage solutions firm FlexGen Power Systems to supply 10 GWh of its EnerC containerized liquid-cooling battery system to FlexGen.

    EnerC can operate in harsh climatic conditions, ensuring that the system can operate safely and reliably for two decades. It has an integrated liquid cooling design and its energy density can reach 259.7 kWh per square meter, about 200% more than traditional air-cooling systems.

    FlexGen's HybridOS energy management system platform will power the systems deployed with CATL to ensure reliable capability for utility, competitive power market, as well as municipal and cooperative utility projects. The platform is already powering energy storage systems across North America.

    "FlexGen has been an essential partner for CATL in the deployment and growth of our energy storage business in North America. The deep technological partnership has ensured high performance and reliability for our customers and has resulted in some of the best performing plants we have operating," said Tan Libin, vice president of CATL."The expanded commitment we are making with this Supply Agreement highlights the value our organizations have delivered and the potential we see to further scale our partnership."

    The Master Supply Agreement was signed after FlexGen was named as a CATL Authorized Services Provider to deliver maintenance and optimization services on CATL battery energy storage equipment. The extended partnership now spans more than 2.5 GWh in energy storage system projects.

    "FlexGen and CATL have partnered for many years on advancing energy storage deployments. The significant commitment we are making to CATL and the energy storage market is built upon the quality, performance, and positive results this partnership has delivered to our customers," said Kelcy Pegler, CEO of FlexGen. "We are excited about the opportunity to grow the energy storage market and bring exceptional energy storage technology to our customers."

    North Carolina-based FlexGen delivers utility-scale energy storage solutions for utilities and cooperatives. Earlier this year, it announced a project with NC Electric Cooperatives to install BESS in 10 rural communities across the state.
