Hithium Unveils Advanced Energy Storage Solution for AI Data Centers

In a groundbreaking development at the RE+ 2025 conference, Hithium, a recognized global leader in integrated energy storage solutions, introduced its latest offering specifically tailored for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. This innovative energy storage system (ESS) marks a significant advancement in meeting the unique demands of AI infrastructure while supporting the ongoing ecological transition through long-duration energy storage.

Understanding the Challenges for AI Data Centers

As the AI landscape continues to expand, data centers face increasing pressure to operate efficiently while also aligning with sustainability goals. The integration of renewable energy sources is crucial for reducing operational costs and minimizing carbon emissions. However, challenges such as the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources and rapid load fluctuations—often in the millisecond range—place undue strain on the reliability of power supply. This reality underscores the urgent need for robust long-duration energy storage solutions.

Many existing energy storage solutions lack the specificity and adaptability required for the dynamic needs of AI data centers. Hithium has recognized this gap and developed an AIDC-specific energy storage solution that integrates seamlessly with the demands of modern data operations.

Hithium’s Tailored Energy Storage Solutions

The newly unveiled ESS for AI data centers comprises two main products: the BESS ∞Power 6.25MWh 8h, designed for long-duration storage, and the BESS ∞Power N2.28MWh 1h, a sodium-ion solution intended to manage sudden power surges. Together, these complementary technologies empower data center operators to effectively manage both base and peak demands without sacrificing reliability.

Crucially, Hithium’s solution features a dedicated AIDC lifetime assessment model that provides detailed insights on degradation levels, ensuring prolonged reliability even under dynamic workload conditions. This strategic move allows for substantial improvements in renewable energy utilization, leading to a significant reduction in the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) while enhancing the overall quality and efficiency of AI energy supply.

Kush Sutaria, Senior Engineering Director at Hithium, asserted, "Our energy storage portfolio for AI data centers is designed with client operations at the forefront. The BESS ∞Power 6.25MWh 8h minimizes auxiliary consumption while maximizing long-term efficiency, and the BESS ∞Power N2.28MWh 1h, built on the ∞Cell N162Ah, offers 20,000 cycles, maintaining stable performance amidst rapid load fluctuations. These capabilities are essential for ensuring both reliability and profitability in AI data centers that are continuously pushing the limits of energy demand.”

Enhancing AI Data Center Operations

Beyond product innovation, Hithium is bolstering the capabilities of AI data centers through localized manufacturing and enhanced service delivery. With a fully operational 10 GWh facility based in Texas and a network of over 100 engineers across the U.S., Hithium ensures rapid and dependable deployment. Their emphasis on a "Local for Local" strategy, coupled with vertical integration, guarantees prompt service and long-term reliability for AI data centers throughout North America and beyond.

Thanks to Hithium's advanced customization capabilities and efficient global delivery, the company secured the second position in global energy storage battery deliveries during the first half of 2025. This latest launch of the ESS solution for AIDC signifies yet another milestone for Hithium, reinforcing its commitment to delivering tailored solutions that expand energy storage applications across various industries.

In summary, Hithium is not only pushing the boundaries of energy storage solutions but also paving the way for a sustainable and efficient future in energy consumption across AI data centers, promoting a broader transition to clean energy and sustainable development.
