HIZENERGY has been included in BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) Q3 2026 Tier 1 Energy Storage Manufacturer List, marking a significant milestone for the company just four years after its establishment in China. The recognition places HIZENERGY among the world’s leading energy storage manufacturers and highlights its growing presence in the commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage market, supported by its technological capabilities and expanding global delivery network.
The 2026 Q3 Tier 1 roster features 68 manufacturers, most established industry giants with over a decade of operational history. Established in June 2022, HIZENERGY stands out as a young company, clearing the Tier 1 assessment on its first submission and breaking the long-standing industry consensus that new startups require 5 to 8 years to meet Tier 1 criteria.
Independent R&D forms HIZENERGY’s core competitive advantage. Over half of its workforce consists of research engineers, holding more than 120 patents related to energy storage technology. In 2026, the firm globally launched its proprietary 300kW/460kW liquid-cooled high-power PCS (Power Conversion System), filling a critical industry technical gap. This innovative hardware resolves persistent pain points of conventional C&I storage systems, including excessive footprint, high parallel operation losses and prohibitive capacity expansion costs, establishing an unrivalled differentiated technical barrier.
Substantial commercial project track records form the backbone of HIZENERGY’s Tier 1 qualification. By mid-2026, the company’s cumulative installed energy storage capacity exceeded 1.8GWh, with more than 6,000 energy storage cabinets deployed nationwide. Parallel global deployment capacity further satisfies BNEF’s global evaluation standards: HIZENERGY has built localised teams across Europe and Southeast Asia, with live operational projects successfully commissioned in Belgium, Germany and other overseas territories.
Securing BNEF Tier 1 status marks a new starting line rather than a finish line for HIZENERGY. Moving forward, the company will leverage this world-class accreditation to deepen core R&D, iterate liquid-cooled high-power storage systems and intelligent energy management software. It will expand localised service networks throughout Europe and Southeast Asia, diversify energy storage application scenarios and fully focus on the global C&I storage track. Committed to premium, bankable energy storage solutions, HIZENERGY aims to deliver stable, cost-effective clean energy to industrial and commercial enterprises worldwide.
