On November 6, CLOU Electronics announced key progress in its global manufacturing expansion, revealing that its energy storage production base in Indonesia is currently under construction and scheduled to commence operation in 2026. The facility has an initial planned capacity of 3GWh per year, with flexibility for future expansion based on market demand and business growth.

CLOU Electronics is a national high-tech enterprise in China with a number of national and provincial technical centers and laboratories. Focusing on two major fields including new electrochemical energy storage and new power system, CLOU Electronics has long accumulated deep technological expertise and extensive project experience in the energy storage sector. The company has achieved full in-house research, development, and manufacturing capabilities for core system components - including PCS, BMS, EMS, DC/DC converters, and O&MS platforms - enabling it to deliver comprehensive integrated energy storage solutions.

The Indonesia Energy Storage Base marks a strategic milestone in CLOU Electronics’ globalization roadmap. The site will focus on research, development, and large-scale production of key products such as lithium-ion battery energy storage systems and energy storage inverters (PCS). It will also include intelligent production lines, R&D and testing centers, and warehousing and logistics facilities.

Leveraging Indonesia’s abundant nickel and cobalt resources, the project aims to establish a fully integrated overseas industrial ecosystem of “resources-R&D-manufacturing-application.” This approach is expected to reduce supply chain costs and mitigate geopolitical risks, while enhancing production efficiency and responsiveness to regional demand.

As one of the world’s fastest-growing energy storage markets, Southeast Asia has seen rapid expansion driven by the rise of renewable energy installations and urgent power grid upgrades. The commissioning of CLOU’s Indonesian base will enable the company to provide localized products and solutions for utility-scale, industrial, commercial, and off-grid energy storage applications across ASEAN countries, the Middle East, and beyond.

CLOU Electronics has already implemented multiple energy storage projects in Southeast Asia, building a strong reputation and customer network that will support future market development once the new base becomes operational.

The relevant person in charge of CLOU Electronics stated that the Indonesian energy storage production base is a vital component of the company’s globalization strategy. The release of 3GWh annual capacity will significantly enhance the company’s global supply capability and competitiveness. Going forward, CLOU will use the Indonesian base as a hub to deepen its international market presence, accelerate technological innovation, and provide efficient, reliable, and cost-effective energy storage solutions that support global energy transition under the “dual-carbon” goals.
