CHUZHOU, China, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Storage, the energy storage business unit of Trinasolar, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AMP-lify, a Japanese clean energy platform, to supply approximately 1 GWh of grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) equipment for AMP-lify's projects. AMP-lify develops, constructs and operates grid-connected BESS, utility-scale solar, and onshore wind projects across Japan.
Under the MoU, Trina Storage will supply its Elementa 3 series BESS and provide related technical support for approximately 1 GWh of AMP-lify's BESS projects. Trina Storage's Japan team will support system configuration, technical consultation, delivery coordination and after-sales service.
Trina Storage's Elementa 3 is equipped with Trina Storage in-house 587Ah high-capacity cell, providing up to 6.25 MWh per container for larger utility-scale sites. For projects affected by transport access, limited land or proximity to communities, the 1.56 MWh Elementa 3 Flex offers an approximately five-square-metre footprint, a weight of about 13 tonnes for standard-truck transport, operating noise of 65 dB or less and modular expansion.
Japan's Seventh Strategic Energy Plan projects renewable energy at approximately 40–50% of power generation in fiscal year 2040 and calls for storage batteries to help balance renewable output. As variable renewable generation increases, developers need storage projects that combine appropriate system design with local execution and long-term support. Trina Storage's BESS technology and Japan-based support are backed by its recognition as a BloombergNEF Tier 1 energy storage supplier for 11 consecutive quarters.
"Japan's storage market needs projects that are technically sound and executable under local conditions. Working with Trina Storage's technology and local support gives us a strong basis to move the projects from site evaluation through construction and into reliable operation," said Martin Stein, Representative Director and CEO of AMP-lify.
"Japan's storage market has distinct engineering and delivery requirements. Road weight limits and narrow site access affect transport, while mountainous terrain, limited land, community noise expectations, seismic design and coastal conditions influence system configuration. This MoU allows us to address those factors with AMP-lify from the earliest stages of development. By combining its local execution capabilities with our Elementa 3 portfolio and Japan-based technical support, we can configure each project around its site requirements while building toward the scale envisaged under this cooperation," said Dr Leo Zhao, Head of Energy Storage, Trinasolar Asia Pacific.

- Explore nearly 3,500 square metres of immersive experiences inspired by My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, The Boy and the Heron, and more.
SINGAPORE, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tickets are now available for The Story of Studio Ghibli, the immersive exhibition featuring world premiere experiences in Singapore. Opening on 18 December 2026 at Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore edition will span nearly 3,500 square metres, making it the largest presentation of The Story of Studio Ghibli to date. The exhibition invites visitors to journey through unforgettable moments from beloved films including Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, The Boy and the Heron, and more.
Founded in 1985 by Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli has become one of the world's most influential animation studios. Its films have captivated audiences worldwide through timeless storytelling, memorable characters and themes of kindness, courage, respect for nature, and hope, which continue to resonate across generations.
Produced by TSUKURU, INC. and M Experience, and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, The Story of Studio Ghibli transforms these celebrated films into an immersive, walk-through experience featuring 12 life-sized recreated worlds. Visitors can encounter the majestic Ohmu from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, stand beside Totoro while waiting for the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro, wander through the mysterious streets of Spirited Away, and experience the world's first eight-metre-tall three-dimensional recreation of its iconic bathhouse. Interactive multimedia installations throughout the exhibition place visitors at the centre of each story, transforming familiar scenes into experiences best encountered in person.
The Story of Studio Ghibli offers both longtime fans and a new generation of audiences an opportunity to explore these stories in a new way. Beyond recreating scenes from the films, visitors are invited to journey beyond the artwork and production materials, engage more deeply with the stories themselves and rediscover the ideas and values that continue to resonate across cultures and generations.
"The Story of Studio Ghibli is not simply an exhibition to be viewed. It is an experience to be felt. Through 12 recreated immersive scenes inspired by iconic Studio Ghibli films, visitors will be invited to step into the stories themselves and connect with the emotions, values and imagination that continue to resonate across cultures and generations," said Sean Lim, CEO, M Experience.
"We are delighted to welcome the world premiere of The Story of Studio Ghibli to Singapore. The expanded, immersive experience will bring beloved stories to life for fans and create unforgettable moments for visitors. Events of this calibre contribute to Singapore's vibrancy, adding to our line-up of world-class experiences and reinforcing our appeal as the region's premier lifestyle destination," said Ms Guo Teyi, Director, Leisure Events, Singapore Tourism Board.
Designed for fans of all ages, the exhibition will also explore themes such as creativity, resilience and environmental stewardship. Educational initiatives and learning opportunities are currently being developed to encourage deeper engagement with these themes, with further details to be announced closer to the exhibition opening.
