Huawei's Grid-Forming ESS Receives World's First VDE Pre-Compliance Data Assessment for Digital Battery Passport | HUAWEI Smart PV Global

[Shenzhen, China, December 16, 2025] Huawei Digital Power, in collaboration with Germany's VDE Renewables (hereafter "VDE"), a globally recognized independent third-party organization specializing in quality assurance, testing, certification and risk management, has successfully completed the pre-compliance data assessment for the digital battery passport of Huawei's LUNA2000 series grid-forming energy storage system (ESS). Huawei has received world's first VDE pre-compliance data assessment report for Digital Battery Passport. The subsequent ceremony highlighted Huawei Digital Power's leadership in digitalization and compliance management across the battery lifecycle, establishing a key industry benchmark for high-quality advancement in energy storage.

The EU Battery Regulation's battery passport requirements will take effect on February 18, 2027. From that date, battery products entering the EU market must possess a digital record spanning their entire lifecycle, covering critical indicators such as raw material sources, manufacturing processes, performance safety, carbon footprint, and recycling information. The world's first pre-compliance data assessment report for the digital battery passport of Huawei's LUNA2000 series grid-forming ESS issued by VDE fully validates the product series' excellence in data integrity, traceability, transparency, and systematic management. It meets the core requirements for data quality and management capabilities necessary for future battery passport implementation. This is also the first battery passport qualification verification report issued by VDE globally, marking a milestone for the industry.

Patrick Zank, Senior Battery Consultant at VDE Renewables, stated that creating digital records for the full battery lifecycle supports the EU's digital foundation for transitioning from a linear to a green circular economy. As a leader in the PV and energy storage sector, Huawei Digital Power has developed a digital battery passport platform that ensures data compliance, transparency, and traceability. This provides a high-quality reference case for subsequent battery passport compliance practices and leads the digital transformation of the energy storage industry.

Wu Leilei, Marketing Director from Smart PV & ESS Business of Huawei Digital Power, noted that the formal implementation of battery passport requirements will reshape the rules and value assessment frameworks of the global battery and energy storage industry. Huawei Digital Power is committed to technology development and innovation. It has taken the lead in establishing a future-ready digital compliance platform for its own products, and is also driving the global energy storage industry toward a more transparent, green, and sustainable circular economy model. Looking ahead, Huawei Digital Power will continue to collaborate with VDE, leveraging continuous innovation and practices to foster greater trust and cooperation across the energy storage industry and support its high-quality development.
