Company Description
Headquartered in New York, Wright Energy Storage Technologies (WEST) is a company that designs and distributes advanced energy storage systems. Instead of relying on traditional chemical batteries (like the ones in your phone or electric car), WEST specialises in supercapacitors, which use electrostatic technology to store energy. They have a global footprint, boasting a 10-year track record with over 3,500 systems running and 50+ Megawatt-hours (MWh) installed across 39 countries.
Why It's Industry-Changing
The current energy storage market is heavily dominated by Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. While Li-ion is everywhere, it has significant limitations: chemical batteries degrade over time, are sensitive to temperature, and pose serious fire risks.
WEST is disrupting this by pushing the industry to "Go Beyond Lithium-Ion." By utilising carbon-based supercapacitors rather than chemical reactions, they are fundamentally changing how energy is stored. This allows for safe, high-capacity energy storage in environments where traditional batteries fail or pose a hazard—such as extreme climates of Australia or marine applications (like their integration with Hystream Yachts).
UL & CE Certification 48V (Now) (Medium Voltage December 2026)
Wright Energy Storage Technologies, Inc. (WEST) has achieved both UL and CE safety certifications—a major milestone that enables commercial deployment across the United States, European markets, and APAC. These certifications support a wide range of applications, including data centres, manufacturing, military, hospitals, schools, residential use cases, and more.
What sets WEST apart is its supercapacitor-based technology, which differs fundamentally from lithium-ion. Supercapacitors provide near-instantaneous charge and discharge, exceptional cycle life, and eliminate thermal risks associated with conventional battery chemistries. In addition, WEST’s systems deliver enhanced safety, longevity, and a lower total cost of ownership—addressing some of the most persistent challenges in grid-scale energy storage.
Achieving UL and CE certification not only validates the safety of WEST’s systems but also demonstrates that a fundamentally different approach to energy storage is ready for real-world deployment.
Why They Claim to be "The Best"
Based on their technology, WEST supercapacitors are superior to traditional chemical batteries for several key reasons:
- Unmatched Safety: They boast no thermal runaway. Because they don't rely on volatile chemical reactions, the fire risk associated with lithium-ion batteries is virtually eliminated.
- Extreme Durability: Their systems are designed to operate efficiently in extreme hot and cold temperatures, making them viable in harsh environments where chemical batteries would rapidly degrade.
- Superior Lifespan: They back their technology with a massive 20-year warranty. The units require virtually no maintenance and can handle multiple charge and discharge cycles per day without losing their ability to hold a charge.
- Maximum Performance: They offer 100% usable capacity (unlike lithium batteries, which typically shouldn't be drained completely to protect battery health) alongside ultra-high efficiency and incredibly fast charging and discharging speeds.
- Flexible & Modular: The systems can be scaled easily to fit different industrial, commercial, or specialized needs.
In short, WEST supercapacitors are the safer, longer-lasting, and more robust alternative to the standard lithium-ion batteries that currently saturate the market.
