Tietou Energy will oversee project resource development, land acquisition, grid connection, and supporting guarantees across Ningxia, Shanxi, and Xinjiang. Together, the two companies will advance the phased rollout of the 3.6 GWh energy storage capacity.
Star Charge's 4 GWh Energy Storage Project Connects to the Grid
Two grid-forming energy storage power stations at the Dongsu Substation in Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia, have achieved full grid connection. Star Charge (Wanbang Star Charge Technology Co., Ltd.) supplied its self-developed, full-stack 5 MWh energy storage cabinets for the project, deploying 800 energy storage units to reach a total project capacity of 4 GWh.
Representing a total investment of approximately RMB 3 billion and covering about 420 mu (approx. 28 hectares), the station is a key new-type energy storage construction project in Inner Mongolia. Utilizing grid-forming lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology, the project is scheduled to enter full commercial operation by the end of August.
WeLion New Energy Ships Systems for 800 MWh Grid-Forming Project
On August 8, Beijing WeLion New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ("WeLion New Energy") announced that system shipments for the Huajing Heshun 400 MW / 800 MWh grid-forming energy storage project in the Shanxi Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone were recently completed, with the successful installation of the first storage unit.
Located in the Shanxi Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone with a total investment of approximately RMB 1.15 billion, the project utilizes WeLion New Energy's proprietary Spower IV semi-solid-state battery system paired with an integrated converter-step-up PCS container, significantly enhancing system integration and operational reliability.
Far East Energy Storage Supplies 800 MWh Storage Project in Xinjiang
The Xinjiang Linuo 200 MW / 800 MWh grid-forming independent new-type energy storage project, constructed with the participation of Far East Energy Storage (a division of Far East Battery), was recently connected to the grid and put into operation.
The project features a total capacity of 200 MW / 800 MWh and utilizes Far East Energy Storage's PowerSTROM 6000 liquid-cooled container solution. It comprises 125 battery prefabricated containers and 32 integrated converter-step-up units—forming 32 distinct energy storage sub-units that connect to the collector station via eight 35 kV collection lines.
