Bluetti to unveil high-voltage ESS at Middle East Energy 2025

Bluetti, a global leader in energy storage solutions, will be showcasing its EP2000 high-voltage Energy Storage System at Middle East Energy (MEE) 2025, to be held in Dubai from April 7 to 9. 
 
This scalable ESS system, with up to 150kWh capacity and 60kW output, provides efficient energy storage for both residential and commercial sectors.
 
"At Booth F10, Hall 7, we will demonstrate how the EP2000 can redefine clean energy storage in real-world scenarios," said Anne Liang, Bluetti Middle East Distribution Director. "From off-grid villas to convenience stores and construction sites, the EP2000 offers a tailored power solution that helps reduce energy costs while empowering a greener future."
 
According to her, the EP2000 ESS is expandable for diverse energy needs. A single EP2000 hybrid inverter can output 10.5kW power and scale its capacity from 14.7kWh to 51.6kWh with multiple B700 batteries. 
 
This is an ideal backup power solution for homes and small businesses. For larger applications, such as warehouses,hospitals and hotels, up to three EP2000 systems can be connected in parallel, providing an impressive 60kW power output and 150kWh of storage, she stated.
 
The EP2000 boasts a 98% conversion efficiency, surpassing conventional ESS systems (88%) and saving approximately 700kWh of energy per year. Additionally, with up to 30kW solar input per unit (or 90kW in parallel), homeowners can reach up to 90% energy self-sufficiency and achieve a return on investment within just five years.
 
This solar capability also enables businesses to slash their operational costs by using sustainable energy.
 
The EP2000 is a fully integrated solution, developed and supported by Bluetti to eliminate compatibility concerns, explained Liang. 
 
It's built to last and works in extreme temperatures up to 50°C. Its straightforward installation can be completed by two installers in as little as two hours. Bluetti backs it with a 10-year warranty and local service support, guaranteeing a secure investment, she added.-TradeArabia News Service

AIQ, Gulf Energy team up to enhance ENERGYai

AIQ, the Abu Dhabi-based AI champion developing solutions for energy sector, has entered a strategic collaboration agreement with Gulf Energy Information (Gulf) to enhance the development of ENERGYai by integrating Gulf’s vast energy sector data assets with AIQ’s advanced AI capabilities.
 
ENERGYai is a first-of-its-kind agentic AI solution for the energy sector, developed in partnership with Adnoc and in collaboration with G42 and Microsoft.
 
In March 2025, AIQ announced a landmark $340 million contract with Adnoc to deploy ENERGYai and associated AI solutions across Adnoc’s upstream value chain.
 
The collaboration with Gulf will bolster ENERGYai’s AI-powered agents and large language model (LLM) with deep industry insights, with Gulf providing AIQ with exclusive access to its proprietary datasets, and industry-leading documents.
 
This will ensure ENERGYai is trained on the most relevant and high-quality information available, enhancing the solution’s ability to interpret complex energy sector challenges, optimise workflows, and generate actionable intelligence.
 
Magzhan Kenesbai, Acting Managing Director of AIQ said, “ENERGYai is designed to revolutionise how AI supports decision-making and automation across Adnoc’s value chain. The reliability and impact of our models is directly related to the nature and quality of the data we train them on, and with Gulf’s extensive project and industry intelligence, we are set to further reinforce ENERGYai’s capabilities.”
 
John Royall, President & CEO of Gulf Energy Information said, “By combining AIQ’s AI expertise with Gulf’s trusted energy sector data, we are shaping a smarter, more informed AI ecosystem. This partnership reflects a shared vision to leverage AI for more efficient decision-making, greater sustainability, and enhanced operational intelligence in the energy industry.” -TradeArabia News Service

Iraq signs deal with GE Vernova for 24,000MW power projects

Iraq has signed an agreement with US energy firm GE Vernova for the setting up of combined-cycle gas power plants that will boast a total capacity of 24,000MW. 
 
The agreement was signed in the presence of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani during a visit by a high-level US delegation comprising representatives from 60 private firms.
 
The deal will pave way for the largest and most advanced electricity generation initiative in Iraq's history, said a statement from the Iraqi Prime Minister's office.
 
It also includes provisions for securing external financing through major global banks, it added.
 
With production currently standing at just 16,000MW, the energy ministry hopes to exceed 27,000MW this year.
 
The deal also comes as Iraq seeks to diversify its energy sources away from dependence on its powerful neighbour Iran, reported AFP.
 
The US administration has told Baghdad that it expects "rapid progress" in eliminating "all purchases of natural gas" from Iran.
 
On March 8, Washington did not renew a waiver on sanctions that Iraq previously benefited from to purchase Iranian energy.
 
"The Iraqi government has drawn up plans to guarantee its energy independence and meet the population's demand for stable, uninterrupted electricity," Farhad Alaaldin, the prime minister's advisor on foreign affairs, told AFP.
 
The new partnership signed Wednesday "underscores the enduring relationship" between Baghdad and American companies, he said, adding that it is "capable of providing the expertise and services Iraq needs".
 
"Iraq is a land of opportunity for major companies to operate and invest in," he said.
