Zoe Energy to Build Saudi Arabia's First 18 GWh Battery Storage Manufacturing Hub

By

Zoe Energy Storage said Monday that it had partnered with a Saudi company to build the country's first battery energy storage manufacturing facility.

The company will develop the project in two phases, with Phase I adding 6 gigawatt-hours of capacity and starting production in Q1 2027.

Zoe Energy plans to expand the capacity to 18 GWh in Phase II, reducing Saudi Arabia's dependence on imported battery storage systems.

The company said the project will support Saudi Arabia's goals of 130 GW of renewable energy, 48 GWh of storage capacity and 50% clean electricity generation.

Zoe Energy will build the 150-acre facility to European manufacturing standards and secure "Made in Saudi" certification while supplying battery systems across the Gulf, Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and Africa.

The company also plans to establish a Green Energy Academy at the site to train local workers and strengthen regional expertise in battery storage technology.

Zoe Energy said the Saudi project will be its second overseas manufacturing hub, following its Hungary facility, supplying battery storage systems designed for extreme desert climates.

Chairman Huang Jun said the Saudi project represents an important part of Zoe Energy's international growth plans and will help expand energy storage development across the Middle East.

Update: Market Chatter: Oil, LNG Tanker Traffic Through Hormuz Picks Up as Operators Turn to Dark Transits

(Updates with Adnoc's response in the 7th paragraph.)As the US and Iran make apparent progress on a peace deal, a handful of oil and LNG tankers have been quietly transiting via the Strait of Hormuz, according to a Reuters report, citing ship tracking data.Three LNG tankers made the risky crossing journey in recent days, heading to Pakistan, China, and India, along with a supertanker stocked with Iraqi crude, heading towards China, which was reportedly stuck in the Persian Gulf for nearly three months, due to the conflict.Pakistan, India and China were among a small group of nations deemed "friendly" earlier in the conflict and permitted to sail through the Strait.Other prominent vessels to have made the transit recently include the Bahamas-flagged Fuwairit, owned by Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines, followed by Al Rayyan, which is owned by QatarEnergy, and is expected to arrive in China by late June.According to a Bloomberg report, both Qatar and Abu Dhabi increased efforts to move cargoes through Hormuz using alternative operating practices, including the use of "dark transits", which involve vessels temporarily switching off their transponders to avoid detection.The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, or ADNOC, has increasingly relied on vessels controlled by Navig8 and joint venture partner Wanhua Chemical Group to move crude, refined products and LNG cargoes out of the Gulf."We do not comment on the position, movements, or routing of our vessels as a matter of policy," an Adnoc spokesperson said in response to' query.Transit through the Strait has witnessed an uptick, with 33 vessels having traveled through over the past 24 hours, according to the Hormuz Strait Monitor.While this is still significantly below the typical daily average of 138 vessels during normal times, it marks an uptick from the low-to mid-single-digit traffic figures, which had become the norm in recent weeks.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

EMEA Natural Gas Update: Futures Slide Nearly 6% After Trump Expresses Optimism on Iran Peace Deal

European natural gas futures witnessed a steep decline on Monday, reaching their lowest level in weeks amid signs of progress on a US-Iran peace deal, with US President Donald Trump once again expressing optimism.The Dutch TTF front-month contract fell 5.61% to 45.950 euros ($53.53) per megawatt hour, while UK markets were closed on Monday due to the Spring Bank holiday.In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said that the deal was progressing "nicely".US Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed similar sentiments earlier in the day, noting that there was a "pretty solid" deal on the table and that the US was going to give diplomacy "every chance to succeed," before exploring the "alternatives," while speaking to reporters in New Delhi.Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei on Monday, said that while conclusions had been reached on many topics that were under discussion with the US, the signing of an agreement was not "imminent."As the uncertainty continues, the Strait of Hormuz, which accounted for one-fifth of global LNG flows, remained effectively closed for the 13th week running, despite seeing a major uptick in traffic, with 33 vessels transiting over the past 24 hours, according to the Hormuz Strait Monitor.This, however, is still significantly below the typical daily average of 138 vessels that sailed through the Strait before the conflict.According to Daniel Hynes, a senior commodity strategist at ANZ, recent developments have led to a pullback in European gas prices, since the region's "restocking requirements are less critical than those in Asia."This was despite inventory levels looking low, at just 37.83% of capacity, compared to 45.69% during the corresponding period a year ago, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe.Inventory levels were also significantly below the five-year average for this period, at 51.9%, according to data from the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.At the same time, Europe is forecast to experience a "record-breaking" late-May heatwave, with temperatures expected to soar between 12 and 16 degrees Celsius above long-term climatological norms, according to Severe Weather EU.Such conditions are expected to result in increased air conditioner usage, pushing up electricity demand and gas consumption with it, with Portugal, Spain and France already seeing daytime highs of 35 to 38 degrees Celsius.
