Huawei has launched its new LUNA2000 215-2S10 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Brazil, specifically designed for high-capacity commercial and industrial applications.
The 215 kWh BESS features hybrid cooling and pack-level optimization, aiming to enhance energy management and grid stability amidst increasing renewable energy integration.
Huawei's Digital Power division in Brazil has seen a 200% revenue increase over five years, underscoring its significant market presence and commitment to the country's energy transition.
The company plans to expand its smart storage ecosystem with grid-forming technologies, contributing to Brazil's energy matrix decarbonization and green energy generation goals.
Huawei, a global leader in information and communication technology infrastructure, has officially launched its LUNA2000 215-2S10 Intelligent Energy Storage System (BESS) in Brazil, targeting large-scale commercial and industrial (C&I) projects. The introduction of this high-capacity solution reinforces Huawei's strategic commitment to the rapidly expanding Brazilian energy storage market.
The launch event, dubbed “The Future of Energy,” convened key entrepreneurs, energy professionals, and partners in São Paulo, Brazil. While Huawei's LUNA2000 line has already established market leadership in the residential segment with its modular 7 kWh units, the new 215 kWh model is specifically engineered to meet the robust demands of high-capacity C&I applications. This system integrates hybrid cooling technology for enhanced efficiency and extended operational lifespan, alongside pack-level energy optimization, delivering a reliable solution for comprehensive energy management and grid stabilization.
Huawei's Digital Power division, a cornerstone of its global operations, has demonstrated remarkable growth in Brazil, reporting a 200% increase in revenue over the past five years. This expansion contributes to Huawei's global revenue, which surpassed US$118 billion in 2024, supported by over US$24 billion invested in research and development during the same period.
Gao Kexin, CEO of Huawei in Brazil, emphasized the widespread impact of Huawei Digital Power solutions, which are deployed in over 170 countries and serve more than a third of the world's population. In the solar energy sector alone, Huawei has installed over 330 GW of inverters globally, including more than 30 GW across Latin America and over 14 GW within Brazil. A notable example of the company's large-scale contributions in Brazil is the 1.2 GW Arinos Solar Complex in Minas Gerais, where Huawei provided a complete equipment and services solution.
“With the increasing penetration of renewable energy, Huawei is leading the development of energy storage technologies with grid-forming capabilities, which are essential to ensuring grid stability in a clean energy future,” stated Kexin. He further noted the introduction of new BESS technologies to the Brazilian market, highlighting that Huawei, in collaboration with its partners, has already installed over 200 Megawatt-hours (MWh) of BESS capacity in Brazil.
Dr. Roberto Valer, CTO of Huawei Digital Power, reiterated the company's commitment: “With more than 14 GW of inverters installed in Brazil and large-scale projects such as the Arinos Solar Complex in operation, we have demonstrated our ability to deliver robust and efficient solutions. Now, our focus is to expand this ecosystem, integrating smart storage with BESS and grid-forming technology to take the next step in stabilizing and decarbonizing the Brazilian energy matrix.”
The cumulative efforts of Huawei’s Digital Power division are projected to generate 1.6 TWh of green energy and mitigate 810 million tons of CO₂ emissions by 2025, equivalent to planting 1.1 billion trees. Beyond energy storage, Huawei continues to advance in critical infrastructure sectors, including data center solutions deployed in numerous large-scale global projects and electric mobility with its FusionCharge solution, which has over 50 fast and ultra-fast charging stations in China and a pilot project now operational in Brazil. Kexin concluded by stressing the importance of collaborative efforts among industry, government, academia, and society to achieve a smart, sustainable, inclusive, and shared energy future.
