Flexible C&I Energy Storage for African Businesses

For commercial and industrial applications across Africa, Sigenergy is showcasing its flagship SigenStack energy storage system, built to help businesses overcome frequent grid outages and lower operational costs.

As the centerpiece of Sigenergy’s C&I portfolio, SigenStack features a modular, stackable design that adapts flexibly to various installation spaces and complex site scenarios. Because it requires no heavy cranes or specialized machinery, systems can be manually handled and installed by on-site teams, drastically simplifying logistics and speeding up project deployment. Utilizing a high-efficiency DC-coupled architecture, SigenStack improves round-trip efficiency by 2% while reducing equipment CAPEX. To ensure maximum safety in high-temperature environments, each 12 kWh battery module incorporates a 6-layer safety architecture and an active pack-level fire suppression system.

Working seamlessly with the storage system is the Sigen C&I Inverter, engineered specifically for rapid deployment and continuous factory operations. Crucially for African blackout conditions, Sigen Hybrid Inverter HYB supports direct connection of backup loads, automatically detecting grid outages and enabling a seamless transition to backup power with 0 ms load-side disruption. This direct-backup capability results in simpler installation, faster deployment, and guaranteed business continuity for critical machinery. The inverter also comes with a built-in EMS and industry-leading 600-meter AFCI arc-fault protection.

For larger projects requiring multi-energy orchestration, the Sigen Energy Gateway provides advanced microgrid management, seamlessly integrating solar, storage, grid, and diesel generators while supporting up to 2.4 MW in backup power capacity.

Supporting Africa’s Growing Utility-Scale Energy Market

Marking its entry into large-scale grid storage, Sigenergy is debuting its utility-scale portfolio in Africa, engineered to deliver high efficiency, robust safety, and intelligent operations for large renewable power plants. Integrating the SigenTerra storage system, the 506kW PV Utility Inverter, and the Sigen MVT transformer station, this solution enhances grid reliability while unlocking maximum value across the entire project lifecycle.

Beyond the Landmarks: Discover Hong Kong Like a Local in Old Town Central

HONG KONG, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beyond Hong Kong’s mega events and world-famous attractions, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) invites visitors to discover the city like a local through its diverse neighbourhoods. Old Town Central, one of HKTB’s signature neighbourhood experiences, brings Hong Kong’s identity to life through an eclectic mix of East and West, past and present, where historic temples and traditional local businesses sit alongside vibrant street art, contemporary cultural landmarks and award-winning restaurants and bars.

Anchored by the world’s longest outdoor covered escalator, the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, Old Town Central invites visitors to experience the vibrant area from day to night. Four newly curated thematic experiences reveal its culture, heritage, art and food, while an interactive AR guide and authentic local voices offer deeper insight into the people and stories behind the neighbourhood. Limited-time keepsakes and themed cocktails add even more ways to experience — and remember — Central like a local.

Uncovering Central’s Heartbeat: Themed Experiences and Authentic Local Voices Along the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator

More than a way to move through Central, the iconic Central-Mid-Levels Escalator becomes the backbone for exploring the neighbourhood’s rich culture, history and community. Designed to bridge the distance between travellers and local residents, the experience encourages visitors to venture beyond the main thoroughfares and immerse themselves in the neighbourhood through four themed experiences highlighting handpicked community gems:

Five versions of the printed Old Town Map are available to help visitors navigate the neighbourhood’s hidden gems. Old Town Exclusive Cocktails will be also served at selected bars for a limited time.

The new Old Town Central experience is part of HKTB’s broader effort to encourage visitors to explore Hong Kong’s diverse neighbourhoods and connect more deeply with the communities that define the city.
