Hithium Unveils AI Data Center ESS Solution at RE+ 2025
At the RE+ 2025 event held in Las Vegas, Hithium, a prominent player in energy storage solutions, introduced its cutting-edge AI Data Center Energy Storage Solutions (ESS). This revolutionary addition to the energy storage landscape is tailored to support the green transition with long-duration energy storage capabilities, responding to the urgent requirements of modern data centers.
Addressing the Needs of Data Centers
As the demand for data processing intensifies, data centers are faced with the dual challenge of minimizing environmental impact while ensuring operational efficiency. Increased reliance on renewable energy sources is vital for reducing costs and emissions. However, the unpredictable nature of renewable energy poses stability challenges in power supply. The emergence of long-duration storage solutions, specifically the 8-hour storage capability, becomes essential in addressing these issues.
Existing energy storage systems tend to rely on singular product types, which may not meet the specific demands of AI-centric environments. To combat this inefficiency, Hithium has designed a bespoke energy storage solution that caters precisely to the unique operational needs of AI data centers.
Innovative Product Lineup
Hithium's new offering includes several key products:
- - ∞Power 6.25MWh (8h) BESS: Engineered to provide long-duration energy storage, serving as a stable backbone.
- - ∞Power N2.28MWh (1h) BESS: A sodium-ion solution specifically designed to effectively manage sudden power surges, complementing the long-duration system.
Together, these products enable data center operators to simultaneously manage base loads and peak demand. Furthermore, Hithium has incorporated a dedicated lifespan assessment model for its AIDC ESS, providing valuable insights into degradation and long-term reliability under dynamic workloads.
Enhancing Renewable Energy Utilization
The AIDC ESS solution not only supports improved performance and reliability for data centers but also enhances renewable energy utilization. By significantly lowering the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), these products ensure that operators can maintain high-quality energy supply while being environmentally responsible.
"At Hithium, we have designed our portfolio with our clients' operations as the focal point. The capability of our storage solutions allows AI data centers to minimize auxiliary consumption and maximize efficiency," stated Kush Sutaria, Senior Manager of Application Engineering at Hithium.
Supporting Infrastructure
Beyond product innovation, Hithium is committed to empowering AI data centers through integrated manufacturing and localized service. Their newly operational 10GWh facility in Texas, coupled with a robust U.S. network of over 100 engineers and regional warehouses, allows for swift deployment and maintenance support. Hithium's local-first strategy ensures customers benefit from fast access to resources while maintaining quality service.
Leading the Market
Hithium's achievements position it as a top player globally in energy storage battery shipments and utility-scale deployments as of 2025. The launch of its AI data center ESS solutions marks a significant milestone in the company’s dedication to customization and adaptability to varied industry requirements.
The company aims to bridge gaps in energy storage applications across diverse sectors, paving the way to a more sustainable and clean energy future.
In conclusion, Hithium is not just launching products; it is ushering in a new era of green technology tailored for the data-driven landscape of tomorrow. Watch as they lead the charge towards innovative and environmentally friendly energy solutions for AI data centers worldwide.
