Schneider Electric has partnered with Volts, the first energy storage manufacturer in the UAE, for the construction and opening of the nation’s first giga industrial facility to produce Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Abu Dhabi.
Volt has begun developing the first Middle East giga factory for the production of industrial energy storage systems and batteries in Abu Dhabi, and as its first step, signed cooperation agreements with the world's large companies including Schneider Electric, Honeywell, and CC7 Europe B.V., Mlynchik, stated in a social media post.
The launch of the solar power and battery storage project marks a pivotal moment in the clean energy transformation, allowing renewable energy to be dispatched 24 hours a day, seven days a week, reaffirming the UAE’s position as a global pioneer in renewable energy deployment.
Located in Abu Dhabi, the project will feature a 5.2 gigawatt DC solar photovoltaic plant, coupled with a 19 gigawatt-hour battery energy storage system, setting a global benchmark in clean energy innovation. “In collaboration with EWEC and our partners, we will develop a renewable energy facility capable of providing clean energy round the clock.
Energy management and automation major, Schneider Electric has inaugurated a new battery lab in Bengaluru to advance R&D in battery technologies. UAE-based energy storage provider, Volts UAE and Scheider Electric has signed an agreement to set up a giga-industrial facility for the production of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Abu Dhabi.
Delivering up to 1 gigawatt of baseload power every day generated from renewable energy, the UAE’s latest project will be the largest solar and battery energy storage system in the world.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
