CATL has announced a strategic partnership with Brazilian battery maker Moura to jointly participate in Brazil’s Capacity Reserve Auction for Energy Storage, while showcasing its full storage ecosystem at The Smarter E South America 2026 in São Paulo.
CATL’s full-chain offering spans cell R&D, energy management and project delivery through to localised service — a positioning that emphasises the company’s move from a cell supplier to a full storage-system provider. The company highlighted a system design that delivers zero degradation in capacity and power over the first year of a 20-year design life.
The company noted its systems have been selected for major global projects, including a 1.5 GWh project in Spain and a long-term service-backed deployment at the Supernode project in Australia.
For European C&I and utility-scale buyers, CATL’s expansion of its service and integration footprint matters because it signals Chinese cell makers increasingly competing on the full project lifecycle — not just the cell — which shifts the balance of competition in the storage value chain.
