Major Project Awards and Tenders
China's long-duration energy storage sector is experiencing rapid expansion, highlighted by the announcement of the winning candidate for a massive 200MW/800MWh vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) energy storage station project in Yunnan. Additionally, a 300MW/1200MWh VRFB independent energy storage project in Gengma, Lincang, Yunnan, has successfully completed its signing. In Shaanxi, a 15MW/60MWh VRFB PV-storage-charging integrated project in Zhenping was put out to tender with an investment of 152 million RMB.
Manufacturing and Supply Chain Growth
The manufacturing footprint is also expanding rapidly. A major 2GW vanadium redox flow battery R&D and production base project has landed in Nanyang, backed by a substantial investment of 1.2 billion RMB. Furthermore, Rongke Storage signed an agreement for a new VRFB energy storage manufacturing project in Yunnan, reinforcing the region's status as a hub for vanadium resources and production.
South Grid Energy Storage recently issued a tender for a 5MW/20MWh vanadium energy storage project in Lijiang Huaping, drawing significant market attention to the innovative electrolyte leasing model.
Industry Recognition and Rectification
Recognizing these advancements, Rongke Storage was included in the first batch of the National Emerging Industry Development Demonstration Base list by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) for new energy storage manufacturing. Meanwhile, to ensure healthy development, Hebei province conducted an inspection of independent energy storage projects, resulting in 69 delayed and 16 canceled projects, including six VRFB projects, signaling stricter regulatory oversight alongside rapid growth.
