August 21, 2025: Chinese ESS firm HiTHIUM has agreed a 1GWh energy distribution partnership with the Imperial Electricity Company Pakistan.

The firms said on August 13 that the deal will benefit residential and commercial energy storage systems across Pakistan.

IEC Pakistan said central to the agreement was the rollout of HiTHIUM’s HeroEE residential LFP storage systems in the country, in addition to the joint development of customized ESS products for Pakistan.

IEC Pakistan will be the distributor for residential storage products from HiTHIUM’s, which will set up a domestic service center providing technical expertise.

The partners said Pakistan’s population of some 200 million faces persistent challenges in energy reliability and affordability.

This partnership aims to democratize access to stable, cost-effective green energy by leveraging HiTHIUM’s advanced battery technology and IEC’s deep market expertise.

Deputy general manager of HiTHIUM’s residential energy storage division said the collaboration transcends business and was a mission to bring energy equity to Pakistani homes and businesses.

“We’re empowering communities to break free from energy instability and high costs.”
