Rising electricity demand and extreme weather events challenge grid stability across the country.
The projects will utilize Trina Storage's latest Elementa 2.0 and Elementa 2.5 platforms, which offer high energy density, advanced safety features, and consistent performance across diverse operating environments. The systems are designed to enhance grid stability, manage peak demand, and provide flexible capacity for utilities and communities.
The collaboration enables Lightshift Energy to accelerate the development of distribution-connected storage fleets, supporting rapid deployment while addressing rising electricity demand and increasing load growth and improving overall system reliability.
Lightshift Energy managing partner Mike Herbert said: "Lightshift is committed to scaling high-value storage assets that support the reliability and evolution of the US power system. We are proud to continue our work alongside Trina Storage on projects that advance our strategy and reflect our continued focus on delivering solutions that strengthen grid resilience, address load growth, and provide consistent, high-quality performance for the customers and communities we serve."
The two companies previously cooperated on four storage projects in 2024 located in Groton, Holden, and Paxton, Massachusetts.
Trina Storage North America head of sales Doug Alderton said: "We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Lightshift through this significant milestone. Our earlier joint projects demonstrate what our strong partnership can accomplish under demanding conditions. Trina Storage is dedicated to delivering more reliable, flexible energy storage to communities across the US and we look forward to supporting Lightshift in making our shared vision a reality."
The expanded agreement follows Trina Storage's recent delivery of a 371 MWh battery system in Houston, Texas, in partnership with FlexGen Power Systems earlier this year.
The new portfolio of projects will contribute to greater grid resilience amid growing electricity needs and more frequent extreme weather events, while helping customers achieve cost-effectively integrate renewable generation and maintain stable power supply.
