Cornex and Windey Energy form partnership for local battery storage production in Brazil

Type: Partnership · Technology: Storage · Country: Brazil · Announced: 2026-09-22

Cornex, a Chinese battery manufacturer, has partnered with Windey Energy to establish local battery pack production in Bahia, Brazil, targeting the Brazilian reserve capacity market (LRCAP). The partnership combines global supply of battery cells from Cornex with local assembly and integration by Windey, aiming to meet the 15% nationalization requirement for Brazilian auctions. Cornex plans to expand its Brazil operations into a regional hub for Latin America, initially supplying cells for local pack assembly before pursuing full local integration of containers and systems. The collaboration supports Cornex's strategy to serve Brazil's commercial and industrial, agricultural, and off-grid storage markets through a combination of local and global capabilities.
