COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, Oct. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sungrow, a globally leading supplier
of PV inverters and energy storage systems, announced the successful commissioning
and commercial operation launch of WKV Hydro Technics (Pvt) Ltd’s 10 MW/40 MWh Battery
Energy Storage System (BESS) in Galle, Sri Lanka on September 10, 2026. WKV Group,
a subsidiary of Khen Energy Limited, deployed Sungrow’s PowerTitan 2.0 solution,
enhancing grid flexibility and delivering fast‑response energy storage capacity 
to support renewable energy integration.

BESS in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is expanding renewable generation, with the country’s long-term power 
plan targeting **70% of electricity generation from renewable energy sources by 
2030,** led by solar and wind. As the share of variable renewable generation grows,
the power system requires more flexible resources that can respond quickly to fluctuations
in supply and changing demand patterns. Electricity demand typically reaches its
daily peak at around 7 p.m, placing additional pressure on the grid during the evening.
Against this backdrop, Sri Lanka’s power-sector planning has identified utility-
scale battery energy storage as an important grid-support technology for maintaining
system reliability and enabling greater renewable energy integration.

**PowerTitan 2.0 Designed for Local Project Requirements**

 ◦ **End-to-end intelligent management: **The system integrates station-level control
   with intelligent battery management, continuously tracking battery status and
   optimizing operation to support system stability and long-term performance.
 ◦ **Full-stack pre-commissioning capability: **PowerTitan 2.0 integrates the battery
   system and PCS into an all-in-one AC-DC block, with key components pre-assembled
   before delivery. This simplifies on-site installation and commissioning, contributing
   to a **50% reduction in grid-connection time**.
 ◦ **Built for a challenging coastal environment: **Located approximately **500 
   meters from the sea**, the project operates in a hot, humid and corrosive environment.
   PowerTitan 2.0 is designed to withstand challenging environmental conditions,
   supporting reliable long-term operation. The system is designed for an operational
   life of **at least 15 years**.

The project strengthens the grid’s peak-shaving and frequency-regulation capabilities,
providing fast and flexible support as electricity demand and renewable generation
fluctuate. By storing electricity when supply is available and dispatching it when
needed, the BESS can help improve system efficiency, enhance supply reliability 
and create greater flexibility to integrate renewable energy.

"**_The commissioning of this Project is not only a technological milestone but 
a national achievement._**_ By partnering with Sungrow, we have demonstrated how
foresight, innovation, and collaboration can reshape Sri Lanka’s energy landscape_.
_This project is a testament to what can be accomplished when industry leaders work
together toward a shared vision of sustainability and resilience,_" said **Sudath
Pathmal, Chief Operating Officer of WKV Group.**

**Accelerated Delivery Through Close Coordination**

The project set a benchmark for rapid, high-quality delivery in challenging conditions.
From thermal commissioning to pre-SAT, the project was completed in just one week,
followed by formal SAT and commercial operation within five days. The accelerated
delivery was supported by:

 ◦ **Proactive pre-project enablement: **Technical parameters were pre-configured,
   with auxiliary power, liquid-cooling inspections, and grid-connection planning
   completed ahead of commissioning to minimize on-site delays.
 ◦ **On-site cross-team suppor**t: Sungrow’s technical and delivery experts provided
   on-site support through SAT and COD, helping WKV complete testing and transition
   into commercial operation within the compressed schedule.

The project demonstrates Sungrow’s ability to combine integrated technology, coordinated
project execution and hands-on customer support to address the practical demands
of utility-scale energy storage projects. Building on its experience across global
markets, Sungrow will continue to support customers in deploying reliable energy
storage solutions that enhance grid flexibility and enable greater renewable energy
integration.
