China Gezhouba Group Co., Ltd under the Energy China
On October 1, the largest grid-side independent energy storage power station for frequency regulation and peak shaving in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area -- the Grid-Side Independent Energy Storage Power Station in Maba Town, Qujiang District, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province -- was officially put into operation. The project, undertaken by China Gezhouba Group Co., Ltd of the Energy China under an EPC contract, adds strong momentum to Guangdong Province’s efforts to build a trillion-yuan-level industry cluster of new energy storage.
The Grid-Side Independent Energy Storage Power Station in Maba Town, Qujiang District, Shaoguan City
Located in Qujiang District, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, the project covers an area of approximately 48.99 mu (3.27 hectares) and consists of 70 sets of lithium iron phosphate battery containers, each with a single-unit capacity of 6 MWh. It is the largest grid-side independent energy storage power station for frequency regulation and peak shaving in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. As the first independent energy storage power station in Shaoguan City, the project has been included in Guangdong Province’s list of key projects for 2025.
Site of the energy storage power station
The project includes a 208 MW / 416 MWh electrochemical energy storage system and a 12-kilometer outgoing transmission line, along with a supporting 220 kV booster station. Once in operation, the power station can store up to 416,000 kWh of electricity at full capacity and deliver approximately 298 million kWh of electricity annually, meeting the power needs of nearly 140,000 households while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 208,000 tons each year. At the same time, leveraging its grid regulation technology advantages, the project will effectively smooth out fluctuations in wind and solar power generation and help ease frequency regulation and peak-shaving pressures on the regional power grid.
Site of the energy storage power station
In addition, leveraging the “energy storage + computing power” collaborative model, the power station provides stable electricity support for the data center cluster in Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province -- a core hub of the national integrated computing power network in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. This effectively supports the implementation of China’s “East Data, West Computing” project, promotes the deep integration of green energy and the digital economy in the Greater Bay Area, and provides a solid guarantee for power consumption in northern Guangdong and the safe, stable operation of the power grid system.
The 14th ESIE - largest energy storage event in China is coming on April 1-3, 2026, Beijing, China!
