In 2023, the company signed the first 100MW cascade high-voltage energy storage power station contract in China with Shandong Electric Power (China Huadian Group Laicheng Power Plant Energy Storage Project). Under the New Energy ERA 70MW of solar power will be added and 35MW of Battery Energy Storage Systems. . These systems act like a "power bank" for renewable energy, storing excess electricity for later use – a game-changer for industries and households alike. "Solar storage isn't just about saving energy – it's about redefining how we consume power. Designed to address grid instability and enable efficient energy dispatch, this initiative positions itself at the intersection of innovation and practicality.

These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed. It can also help smooth out variations in how solar energy flows on the grid. These variations are attributable to changes in the amount of sunlight that shines onto photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrating. . Storing this surplus energy is essential to getting the most out of any solar panel system, and can result in cost-savings, more efficient energy grids, and decreased fossil fuel emissions. Solar energy storage has a few main benefits: Balancing electric loads. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report.
