Xiter's Revenue Soars 15-Fold, Becomes Taiwan's First Energy Storage Firm with Japan's JC-STAR Dual Certification

Revenue Hits Record High as Xiter Expands into Three Major Overseas Markets

Xiter New Energy reported consolidated revenue of NT$7.274 billion for the first half of 2026, a staggering 1,508% increase compared to the same period last year, setting a new historical high. General Manager Chen Boxun stated that the revenue growth was primarily driven by the maturation of the company’s cross-border deployments in three major markets: North America, Southeast Asia, and Japan. Xiter has officially entered the "Age of Great Navigation." Chen noted that the company successfully established a presence in the North American market and secured orders in the first half of the year, expecting the proportion of overseas revenue to continue rising.

Xiter has also become Taiwan’s first energy storage brand to obtain Japan’s JC-STAR dual certification, covering both its energy storage systems and its self-developed GridLink EMS energy management system. The company’s first demonstration site in Japan officially went live on July 1, laying the foundation for its expansion into the Japanese market.

JC-STAR Certification Serves as Gateway to Japan’s Energy Storage Market

Japanese energy expert Muraya Takashi emphasized that JC-STAR certification is a critical threshold for entering Japan’s energy storage market, directly impacting eligibility for government subsidies, project financing, and grid connection. The certification is also a prerequisite for accessing high-security-demand applications such as data centers. Companies that obtain the certification early are expected to establish a dominant market position.

At the "Taiwan-Japan Energy Technology Exchange Seminar" held on July 27, Hiroshi Okamoto, former Vice President of Tokyo Electric Power Company, highlighted the rapid growth in electricity demand from AI data centers in Japan. Large-scale energy storage systems can effectively manage load fluctuations, enhance power supply stability, and deeply integrate with regional renewable energy sources. Okamoto stressed that energy storage systems can store electricity during grid congestion and release it during peak demand, reducing the need for grid expansion.

Professor Hideo Ishii of Waseda University further pointed out that cybersecurity risks become a core concern once smart grids and energy storage systems are integrated. A cyberattack on these systems could lead to large-scale blackouts, making cybersecurity and international standards essential for maintaining grid stability. Xiter’s acquisition of JC-STAR certification demonstrates that its products meet Japan’s stringent cybersecurity requirements.

Combining Self-Developed Technology with Local Advantages to Strengthen Competitiveness

To meet Japan’s high standards for cybersecurity and intelligent energy management, Xiter New Energy’s self-developed GridLink EMS energy management system has passed JC-STAR certification. Jack Chang, Vice General Manager of Xiter’s subsidiary Chenxi Precision, stated that the company has established a comprehensive production traceability system. By integrating its self-designed Battery Management System (BMS) and leveraging the logistical advantages of Taichung Port, the company ensures its products meet the quality demands of the Japanese market.

During the seminar, Chen Boxun expressed Xiter’s hope to combine technologies validated in the Taiwanese market with local resources in Japan to foster more concrete collaborations and jointly advance the energy transition. With the launch of the demonstration site in Japan, the company’s overseas market deployment has deepened, and revenue contributions from North America, Southeast Asia, and Japan are expected to continue growing.

While Xiter has not yet disclosed specific figures for its overseas revenue share, the acquisition of JC-STAR certification and the successful operation of its demonstration site have already established the company’s leading position in Japan’s energy storage market. As demand from AI data centers continues to grow, the market potential for energy storage systems is expected to expand further.
