LION Smart Production GmbH, part of LION E-Mobility AG, announced three new battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Germany during the third quarter of 2026, each with a capacity of 10 MWh and a combined total of 30 MWh. The projects are scheduled for completion and grid connection in the first quarter of 2027. The wins underscore the accelerating adoption of stationary storage as a critical component of the renewable energy transition.
The three projects represent distinct applications: one 10 MWh system will be co-located with an existing photovoltaic (PV) plant; another 10 MWh system will be paired with a new PV installation; and a third 10 MWh system will operate as a standalone storage asset. These configurations demonstrate the versatility of battery storage in enhancing grid stability, maximizing renewable energy utilization, and providing flexible capacity. As a system integrator, LION Smart designs and implements tailor-made solutions, managing the entire project lifecycle from consulting and system design to engineering, integration, commissioning, and maintenance. Each container is approved by an in-house engineering team according to European quality standards, and performance guarantees back the systems.
The company is also preparing to launch “BESS as a Service” for operators of photovoltaic and wind farms. This model allows renewable energy operators to deploy battery storage without upfront investment in the asset, creating opportunities to generate additional revenue streams alongside their existing energy sales. LION Smart assumes technical risk and provides ongoing service, offering a one-stop solution. The approach could lower barriers for smaller operators and accelerate storage deployment across Europe.
LION Smart will present the “BESS as a Service” offering at the Solar Plus Forum on November 24–25, 2026, in Berlin. The company sees strong interest from independent power producers, solar and wind farm operators, and traditional and municipal utilities. As the demand for reliable, high-performance energy storage grows, LION Smart’s expanding portfolio positions it to serve a broad range of customers. The parent company, LION E-Mobility AG, is listed on the Munich, Frankfurt, and Hamburg stock exchanges and operates highly automated module assembly lines in Germany.

These developments matter for the industry because they illustrate the maturation of the BESS market and the growing viability of storage-as-a-service models. For readers in Long Beach and surrounding areas, the news signals broader trends that could influence local energy infrastructure, investment, and job creation as utilities and businesses seek to integrate more renewable energy and improve grid resilience.
