Renewable energy developer Vena Energy has signed a battery energy storage supply agreement with CATL to support its Indonesia-Singapore renewable energy export project. Under the agreement, CATL will supply up to 4 GWh of EnerX battery energy storage systems (BESS) to PT Infrastruktur Terbarukan Sedaya, a subsidiary of Vena Energy, for storing daytime electricity from a 2 GWp solar power plant in the Riau Islands, which will then be transmitted to Singapore via submarine cables.
The project is being developed by Singapore-based Vena Energy (part of the Asia-Pacific green energy and digital infrastructure developer Vena Group) in collaboration with Shell Eastern Trading, aiming to create an "Indonesia-Singapore Renewable Energy Corridor," providing over 2.6 TWh of annual adjustable clean energy and a "semi-stable renewable electricity supply."
In September 2024, the Singapore Energy Market Authority (EMA) granted conditional permits or approvals to seven cross-border renewable energy import transmission projects between Indonesia and Singapore, with the Vena-Shell project receiving conditional approval for 0.4 GW.
CATL's supplied equipment will be produced at its US$6 billion integrated battery factory in West Java (in cooperation with Indonesia Battery Corporation and others). The factory has an initial annual capacity of 6.9 GWh and manufactures a full chain of products from cells to complete systems. The EnerX is a 20-foot container-type BESS with a single-unit capacity of 5.6 MWh. Vena Energy stated that locally manufactured battery technology will support the region's green development, create jobs, and strengthen Indonesia's clean energy industry.
