TOKYO, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Storage, a global leader of integrated battery energy storage systems (BESS) solutions, has successfully deployed and commissioned its Elementa 2 BESS at two utility-scale power plants in Japan's Gunma Prefecture. The project represents a key milestone for its growing footprint in APAC, where over 2.4 GWh of utility-scale BESS capacity is under execution.
The Elementa 2 units were delivered simultaneously to two separate sites and brought online in less than three weeks. This dual-site deployment and commissioning was successfully executed under a compressed timeframe with Trina Storage's global engineering team collaborating with local technical specialists to support the system delivery and installation phases. This reflects a high-efficiency delivery model that combines global expertise with local execution.
The client lauded Trina Storage for its professionalism, speed, and flexibility throughout the delivery process. Their decision to select Elementa 2 was based not only on product performance but also on Trina Storage's proven capability as a system integrator and the reliability of its local support.
Combined, the systems deliver approximately 16 MWh of storage capacity, equivalent to powering 1,500 households.
The project demonstrates Elementa 2's readiness for high-compliance environments. It meets Japan's stringent high-voltage grid standards, with the system supporting a range of applications including energy arbitrage, frequency regulation, and capacity firming.
Elementa 2 meets major international safety and performance standards, including the world's first UL certification for liquid-cooled thermal control, IEC 61508 Functional Safety Process Certificate, TÜV NFPA69 explosion-proof ventilation certification, and Japan's JET fire propagation test — the first granted to an overseas brand. Backed by a reliable supply chain, comprehensive warranties, and long-term performance guarantees, Trina Storage ensures both operational reliability and financial bankability. The company is a BloombergNEF Tier 1 energy storage manufacturer for six straight quarters and ranks among top global BESS providers in its bankability surveys.
"Delivering two grid-integrated projects within three weeks highlights not only our product readiness, but also our local execution capability," said Li Na, General Manager of Trinasolar Japan. "Trina Storage offers a full-scope delivery framework from manufacturing to commissioning and a strong local team that understands Japan's regulatory and grid environment. We deeply appreciate our customer's trust and will continue building on this foundation to support the energy transition."
Japan's regulatory environment is among the most rigorous in the region. Completing this project positions Trina Storage to support customers in APAC's growing market.

LOS ANGELES and SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting in 2026, fans of Paris Baguette and Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) will be able to find products inspired by the "Heung-Bu Duo" (Son Heung-Min and Denis Bouanga) at Paris Baguette.
Paris Baguette's partnership with LAFC of Major League Soccer (MLS) marks the first such partnership by a company in Korea's food and foodservice sector with a U.S.-based sports team. The partnership is Paris Baguette's third global sports collaboration, following partnerships with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2023-2024 and Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League in 2025.
Through this partnership, Paris Baguette will roll out LAFC-themed bakery products and merchandise starting in 2026, along with a variety of customer engagement programs such as Meet & Greet event and ticket giveaway.
"Sports are powerful content that connects fans around the world and enables closer engagement," Jin Soo Hur, Vice Chairman of Paris Baguette, said. "Through our partnership with LAFC, we will offer a variety of activities that allow customers to share joyful moments and special experiences with our bread."
"We are thrilled to partner with Paris Baguette, a global bakery brand loved by consumers in the United States and around the world for its delicious, high-quality offerings," Larry Freedman, LAFC Co-President said. "This partnership will elevate each of our brands as we bring people together through the shared experiences of the beautiful game and wonderful food."
LAFC is a Los Angeles–based club that debuted in 2018 and currently boasts star players such as Son Heung-Min, Denis Bouanga and Hugo Lloris on its roster. With the recent addition of Son, the club has garnered world-wide attention, rapidly expanding its fan base in Korea and internationally.
By combining bakery and sports in a unique way, Paris Baguette continues to expand its touchpoints with global sports fans and customers through activities such as launching club- and player-themed products and merchandise, running customer promotions, and conducting stadium advertising. The brand has gained attention with innovative campaigns, including displaying a Korean-language LED billboard message reading "Hello! Paris Baguette" at PSG home matches and producing videos featuring PSG star players enjoying Paris Baguette bread. These efforts earned the company the "Marketer of the Year Award," selected by the Korea Advertisers Association. Paris Baguette also serves its coffee at Tottenham Hotspur's home stadium.
Paris Baguette continues to expand its global presence, operating approximately 3,400 stores in Korea and around 700 stores across 15 countries in the United States, Europe, and Asia, for a total of more than 4,100 stores worldwide. In North America, including the U.S., the company aims to operate 1,000 stores by 2030 and has recently strengthened its operations by commencing construction on a local baking plant in Texas.
