CHINT and Octopus Energy have announced the signing of two Memoranda of Cooperation (MoC), establishing a strategic framework to expand collaboration in renewable energy infrastructure and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) solutions.
The partnership reflects both companies’ shared commitment to accelerating the global energy transition through technological innovation, high-quality clean energy infrastructure and smarter energy systems.
Under the first MoC, Astronergy Europe, CHINT Power Systems Poland and CHINT Solar Poland will collaborate with Octopus Energy on renewable energy projects. The agreement establishes a framework under which CHINT will provide a comprehensive portfolio of renewable energy equipment including PV modules, inverters, battery energy storage systems (BESS), transformers, smart meters, cables and electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions. Subject to project-specific agreements, CHINT will also provide EPC services to support the development and delivery of renewable energy projects.
By combining CHINT’s integrated manufacturing and engineering capabilities with Octopus Energy’s expertise in renewable energy development and energy services, the companies aim to deliver efficient, reliable and scalable clean energy solutions for future projects.
In a second MoC, Chint Anneng Digital Power (Zhejiang) and Octopus Energy Group have agreed to explore comprehensive cooperation in the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) sector within the Chinese mainland market.
The collaboration will focus on evaluating opportunities across distributed energy resource aggregation, demand response, intelligent energy management and other digital energy applications. Leveraging CHINT Anneng’s deep understanding of China’s energy market together with Octopus Energy’s international expertise in smart energy technologies and VPP operation, the companies will jointly explore innovative business models and pilot projects that support the development of a more flexible, digitalised, and resilient power system.
Director of the CHINT Group and Chairman of CHINT Green Energy Dr. Chuan Lu commented: “The signing of these strategic cooperation agreements represents an important step in expanding our international partnerships and accelerating innovation in the clean energy sector. By combining our strengths in equipment manufacturing, engineering and energy infrastructure with Octopus Energy’s expertise in digital energy solutions, we look forward to creating long-term value for customers and supporting the global energy transition.”
Greg Jackson, Founder and CEO of Octopus Energy, added: “Building the green energy system of the future requires top-tier hardware and cutting-edge technology. Partnering with CHINT gives us access to both at an incredible scale. From accelerating infrastructure in Europe to pioneering new Virtual Power Plants in China, we’re proving that the future of energy is digital, flexible, and green.”
