Berlin – Jinko ESS Europe, Westing Management Kft and GSE GmbH from Straubing have formalized a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening collaboration in the German commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage market.
The agreement was officially confirmed during a meeting held in Berlin, where Dmytro Ostapenko, CEO and Co-owner of Westing Management Kft, Pavel Kshnyakin, Managing Director of GSE GmbH, and Lorenzo Paumgardhen, Sales Manager at Jinko ESS Europe, gathered to outline the framework for joint market development, technical cooperation and strategic partnership.
The partnership will focus on the distribution, market development and concrete realization of advanced battery energy storage solutions for the German C&I segment, combining Jinko ESS’s technology expertise with the local market knowledge, project development capabilities and technical engineering competence of Westing Management and GSE GmbH.
As part of the collaboration, the partners will support the deployment of the Jinko ESS SunGiga C&I solution for commercial and industrial customers in Germany, offering flexible, reliable and scalable energy storage solutions.
The objective of the partnership goes beyond product distribution. Together, the partners aim to realize energy storage projects along the full project lifecycle — from technical analysis, system sizing and profitability assessment to project planning, system integration, commissioning, operational optimization, maintenance and long-term service support.
Westing Management and GSE GmbH bring experience in renewable energy projects, microgrids and energy storage solutions.
The partnership addresses a broad range of C&I applications, including flexible electricity tariffs and market-based energy optimization, peak shaving, load management, PV self-consumption optimization, grid connection optimization, EV charging infrastructure support, backup solutions and microgrid or hybrid energy concepts.
A key part of the cooperation will also be the use of simulation-based planning tools, data-driven system design and AI-supported optimization approaches. These tools can help evaluate different system configurations, analyze consumption profiles, improve storage sizing and optimize operational strategies, especially in combination with PV systems, grid connection management and dynamic electricity tariffs.
Lorenzo Paumgardhen, Sales Manager at Jinko ESS Europe, commented:
“This strategic partnership allows us to further expand our presence in the German C&I energy storage market. Westing Management and GSE GmbH combine strong local market knowledge with technical implementation capabilities, and together we can support the growing demand for advanced battery storage solutions that enable the energy transition.”
Dmytro Ostapenko, CEO and Co-owner of Westing Management Kft, added:
“Our ambition goes beyond pure product distribution. Together with Jinko ESS Europe and GSE GmbH, we aim to develop and realize energy storage solutions that are technically well designed, economically meaningful and optimized for real operation. The German C&I market requires reliable technology, but also strong engineering, project execution and long-term service capabilities.”
Pavel Kshnyakin, Managing Director of GSE GmbH, commented:
“The focus is on practical and technically solid solutions. Through simulation-based planning, data-driven system design and AI-supported operating strategies, we can help customers optimize storage sizing and significantly improve the economic value of battery storage systems, especially in combination with PV, grid connection management and dynamic electricity prices.”
As a next step, Westing Management and GSE GmbH plan to further strengthen their cooperation by bundling market development, engineering, technical implementation, service and long-term customer support in a dedicated German platform, planned under the working name SSW.
Through this strategic partnership, Jinko ESS Europe, Westing Management and GSE GmbH aim to collaborate on market development initiatives, technical integration projects and service-driven energy storage solutions that contribute to a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure in Germany.
