The Rudong project is the world's first commercial scale deployment of a non-pumped hydro, gravitational energy storage system. An anticipated 80% round trip efficiency puts the EVx™ ahead of competing long duration technologies such as flow battery, thermal, and compressed air energy storage.
[pdf] Manufacturers offering high-capacity, certified systems such as 100kWh air-cooled cabinets, 241kWh modular ESS, and 3.35MWh liquid-cooled containers are gaining traction among EPCs and developers. Explore the major energy storage trends shaping 2025 across China, Australia, and Europe.
[pdf] A new energy storage plant featuring sodium- and lithium-ion batteries has opened in China's Yunnan province. The energy storage station, operated by China Southern Power Grid, is approximately 33,333 square meters in size and features over 150 battery compartments, according to CnEVPost.
[pdf] Located 41 kilometers east of Kashgar, Xinjiang, this facility occupies 119,000 m2 and required an investment of close to 1.6 billion yuan. It is the first stage of a development that will eventually reach 1 GW / 4 GWh.
[pdf] China has more than 30 reactors under construction and in planning, and France has announced plans to build 14 reactors. Technology giants, including Amazon, Google and Microsoft, are also investing in nuclear to power their energy-hungry data centres and lower their carbon emissions.
[pdf] China's cumulative energy storage capacity reached 34.5 GW/74.5 GWh by the end of 2023, and CNESA expects the nation to install more than 35 GW in 2024, with lithium-ion batteries to account for 95.
