Grid-scale battery energy storage initiatives in Europe receive a boost through strategic partnership between HyperStrong and Repono
The strategic partnership between HyperStrong and Repono AB, announced on June 23, 2025, marks a significant step towards scaling large-scale battery energy storage in Europe. The collaboration aims to deploy 1.4 GWh of grid-scale energy storage projects across Europe by 2027 [1][2][3][4].
Sweden-based Repono brings expertise in project development, including site development, permitting, financing, and coordination of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). HyperStrong, headquartered in Beijing, contributes its full-scope system integration capabilities, including the delivery of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and lifecycle services [1][2][3].
The partnership combines Repono's project origination and operational experience with HyperStrong's technical know-how and BESS solution integration to accelerate large-scale electricity storage deployment in Europe [1][2][3]. Joint planning, technical and commercial alignment, and project reviews are integral to the collaboration to ensure efficient development and execution of the projects [2][3].
The strategic alliance aims to unlock the potential of grid-scale storage as a backbone for Europe’s energy transition. It is expected to contribute an additional 400 MWh of renewable power capacity, which is estimated to account for about 0.4% of Europe’s renewable energy targets for 2030 [3]. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to scaling local European value chains related to energy storage and strengthening industrial resilience amidst the energy transition [1][3].
Pingyang Wang, Senior Vice President of HyperStrong International, highlighted the partnership's role in accelerating the deployment of "safe, high-performance, and cost-effective energy storage infrastructure in Europe" [1][3]. Repono CEO Karim Nils Grueber emphasized the complementary expertise and operational experience, aiming to "unlock the potential of grid-scale storage as a backbone for Europe’s energy transition" [1][2][3].
Mr. Greger Landén, CTO of Repono, has expressed that they have found a partner in HyperStrong that is truly focused on performance and safety. The partnership aims to advance 1.4GWh grid-scale energy storage projects across Europe by 2027. Both parties are willing to develop a common approach in line with Repono's needs for enabling the green transition in the European market.
Under the agreement, both parties will engage in joint planning and project reviews for identified pipeline projects. The collaboration between Repono and HyperStrong is aimed at enabling grid stability and energy transition in Europe. This strategic alliance is a significant step towards meeting ambitious energy transition goals by 2027.
