HiTHIUM, a leading global provider of long-duration energy storage technology, announced a strategic cooperation agreement with EL-Mor Renewable Energy on November 6th, 2025, in Tzur Yigal, Israel. The partnership represents a significant milestone in HiTHIUM's international expansion into long-duration energy storage (LDES) markets.

Project Scope and Capacity

Under the agreement, EL-Mor will design and build battery energy storage systems (BESS) and related infrastructure for multiple projects, with a total capacity of 1.5GWh and a total power of 300MW. The projects will include multiple landmark installations, with the centerpiece being the RAMAT BEKA 1GWh PV+BESS project, described as the largest project of its kind in the region and setting a new benchmark for grid flexibility in the area.

The partnership will mark the first major overseas deployment of HiTHIUM's long-duration energy storage technology. HiTHIUM will supply its Power 6.25 MWh BESS as part of its Energy Equipment Package (EEP), which provides a one-stop solution for both DC and AC systems.

Technology and Infrastructure Solutions

The EEP integrates battery containers, power conversion systems (PCS), medium-voltage transformers, medium-voltage switchgear, and an energy management system (PPC) into a unified platform. This comprehensive solution is supported by engineering services ranging from energy and power sizing to grid connection modeling, protection coordination, and fire safety system design.

The project will also feature HiTHIUM's Cell 1175Ah technology as part of the overall energy storage solution being deployed across the Israeli installations.

Market Context and Strategic Importance

Israel has been rapidly expanding its renewable energy portfolio as part of its national strategy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This growth has increased the need for grid-scale energy storage to support renewable integration and ensure grid stability and reliability. Long-duration energy storage is emerging as a critical enabler of this clean-energy transition, allowing surplus solar power generated during the day to be stored and dispatched during peak demand or extended low-generation periods.

Steven Song, HiTHIUM Senior Director of Sales for Israel, stated that “Israel and the broader Middle East are at a turning point in renewable energy transformation. Through this strategic partnership with EL-Mor, we are delivering the long-duration energy storage technology that will help stabilize Israel's grid, enhance solar integration, and empower a cleaner, more resilient power system for the future.”

Avi Elkayam, Chairman of EL-Mor Renewable Energy, said the company is “proud to partner with HiTHIUM in advancing Israel's transition toward sustainable and resilient energy systems. HiTHIUM's Power 6.25 MWh solution, coupled with our capabilities in executing large-scale PV projects, high voltage sub-stations, and large-scale BESS systems, allows us to provide a one-stop solution for the Israeli energy market.”
