On April 22, the Huajing Heshun 400,000 kW/800,000 kWh energy storage project in Shanxi Transformation and Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone held its groundbreaking ceremony at Xiaohe Emerging Industry Park. The Huajing Heshun 400,000 kW/800,000 kWh energy storage project is currently the largest, most technologically advanced, and most fully functional energy storage rod project in the zone. The project adopts advanced ESS technology from China, integrating power grid support, frequency regulation and peak shaving, new energy accommodation, and emergency supply guarantee. Once completed, it will significantly enhance the safe and stable operation of the regional power grid, and is of great significance for strengthening power grid regulation capacity, improving new energy accommodation levels, reducing resource utilization costs, and promoting the optimization of regional energy structures.

Recently, Sanhui Energy's official account announced that the Wenshui County 200MW/100.83MWh independent hybrid energy storage project, in which it was deeply involved in construction, achieved full-capacity grid connection. The project is located in Wenshui County, Lvliang City, Shanxi Province, adopting a hybrid technology route of "flywheel energy storage + LFP battery energy storage." The station area is divided into four functional zones: office and living service facilities, power distribution and step-up substation, LFP energy storage, and flywheel energy storage. A total of 400 flywheel energy storage units with a single-unit capacity of 125KW were built, along with 13 units of 3.44MW and 2 units of 2.64MW LFP battery cabins. The supporting electrical systems, control systems, and civil engineering works were completed simultaneously.

During a recent investor meeting, EVE Energy projected that commercial vehicles will account for over 50% of its power battery shipments by 2026. Current market demand exceeds deliverable capacity by 5-10%, leaving no surplus for additional orders. Furthermore, as commercial vehicle products upgrade, their specifications increasingly overlap with large-cell energy storage requirements. Consequently, EVE Energy is accelerating the expansion of large-cell production to address capacity constraints and capture growing demand in both sectors.

During an investor meeting on April 24, EVE Energy revealed it is developing its next-generation 702Ah energy storage cell using stacking technology. This cell offers significant energy efficiency, enabling a 6.9MWh system capacity. Compared to the mainstream 587Ah/588Ah solutions (6.25MWh), it reduces the number of system containers by approximately 10%. Following its 628Ah cell launch in 2025, EVE Energy continues to lead the shift toward larger capacities, effectively lowering initial investment costs and optimizing site layouts.
