Vanda RE has entered a framework supply agreement with Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) to procure up to 2.2 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of its EnerX battery energy storage system (BESS).

Vanda RE is a joint venture firm co-owned by Gurīn Energy and Gentari via Gentari International Renewables.

The deal will support the Vanda solar and battery project in Indonesia's Riau Islands.

The collaboration between Vanda RE and CATL will facilitate the integration of 2 gigawatt peak (GWp) of solar photovoltaic capacity and 4.4GWh of battery storage into the project.

CATL's BESS units will be manufactured at their new facility in Karawang regency, West Java province. The factory, which began construction at the end of June 2025, has a total battery production capacity of 15GW.

Gurīn Energy Indonesia country manager Enda Ginting stated: “Today’s announcement is another critical milestone in the development of the landmark Vanda solar and battery project. Vanda RE is committed to developing the project to the highest technical and operating standards, which is why we are delighted to have secured CATL’s best-in-class batteries.

“Our progress reflects the strong confidence that partners and stakeholders have in the project as well as the vision of a green economic corridor between Indonesia and Singapore. The Vanda project is a stepping stone to bringing that vision to life, and we are happy to do our part.”

This strategic move not only aligns with Indonesia’s local content requirement but also bolsters Singapore and Indonesia's commitment to establishing a green economic corridor.

In early 2025, Vanda RE signed a separate agreement for 1GW supply of solar panels and selected the Owner’s Engineer (an independent technical consultant) for the project.

In March 2025, Brookfield Asset Management announced the successful divestment of 1.6GW of Indian solar and wind assets to Gentari Renewables India.
