Melbourne, 10th June 2026 — Fox ESS has signed a 5GWh strategic battery energy storage agreement with OSW, one of Australia’s largest and fastest‑growing renewable energy distributors, during the SNEC International Energy Storage Exhibition in Shanghai last week. The agreement sets a two-year supply target, reflecting the strong growth trajectory of both companies and their shared commitment to accelerating clean energy adoption across global markets.

The partnership will support the deployment of Fox ESS’s advanced residential, commercial, and industrial energy storage solutions throughout Australia, one of the world’s most dynamic markets for renewable energy.

Anson Zhang, CEO of OSW, said:

“OSW and Fox ESS are both scaling rapidly across global markets, and this 5GWh two-year target reflects the strength of our shared vision. By combining OSW’s global distribution network with Fox ESS’s world‑class energy storage technology, we are well positioned to deliver greater value to customers in Australia and beyond. We look forward to deepening this partnership as both companies continue to expand worldwide.”

Together, we will continue to expand the availability of high‑performance energy storage solutions across Australia while supporting the broader global transition to clean energy.”

The agreement underscores Fox ESS’s long‑term commitment to the Australian market and its strategy of partnering with leading distributors who share a strong global outlook and a dedication to delivering high‑quality renewable energy solutions.
