We're proud to share that Cornex New Energy has been named to BloombergNEF's (BNEF) Q2 2026 Global Energy Storage Tier 1 Manufacturer List — for the fifth consecutive time.

This makes Cornex one of the few energy storage companies in the world to maintain a sustained Tier 1 standing, a testament to its consistent performance in product quality, delivery capability, and market credibility during a period of rapid consolidation across the global storage industry.

What does BNEF Tier 1 actually mean?

The BNEF Tier 1 list is one of the most widely referenced benchmarks used by global financial institutions, energy companies, and investors when assessing energy storage projects. It goes far beyond production capacity or shipment volume — evaluating companies across multiple dimensions including:

✅ Shipment scale ✅ Financing capability ✅ Project execution track record ✅ Technology maturity ✅ Global market performance

Achieving Tier 1 status means a company has earned its place in the core tier of the global energy infrastructure supply chain.

What makes Cornex's five consecutive recognitions meaningful?

Cornex has built a fully integrated delivery capability — from cell R&D and manufacturing to complete system integration. In large-scale energy storage projects, reliability isn't just about individual product specs. It's about system-level stability and long-term operational performance. That's exactly where Cornex's end-to-end model sets it apart.

Today, Cornex operates with an effective production capacity of 110 GWh, ranking among the industry leaders globally. With the Xiangyang base and Yichang Phase II projects advancing toward completion, Cornex's strategic layout of one headquarters and four production bases is taking form — strengthening its competitive position across product performance, delivery speed, and cost efficiency.

A young company making a global mark

Founded less than five years ago, Cornex has moved fast — with products now deployed across 60+ countries and regions worldwide.

📦 Ranked Top 5 globally in energy storage battery shipments in 2025 🏗️ Repeatedly shortlisted in domestic centralized procurement tenders in Q1 2026 🌍 Secured major overseas contracts:

• Egypt — 6 GWh

• Saudi Arabia — 5.5 GWh

These milestones reflect Cornex's deepening footprint in the Middle East and North Africa, two of the world's fastest-growing energy storage markets.

The bigger picture

BNEF Tier 1 is more than a ranking — it is a trust filter built into the global energy capital system. Five consecutive qualifications in under five years signal that Cornex's product reliability, project delivery, and financial soundness have earned genuine international credit.

For a young Chinese energy storage company, this isn't just a story about speed. It's a story about building a system — and earning the trust that comes with it.

As the global energy transition accelerates, the competition in energy storage will ultimately be decided by technology and trust. Cornex's consistent Tier 1 standing is a powerful foundation for that long game. 🔋⚡
