On the morning of August 11, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Liaozhong Envision Energy Storage Power Station project was held. As a grid-forming national demonstration project, it carries the important mission of promoting the energy revolution and achieving the “dual carbon” goals, injecting strong momentum into the green transformation and high-quality development of the Liaozhong economy.

The Liaozhong Envision Energy Storage Power Station is the first “electrochemical + flywheel” hybrid energy storage power station in Liaoning. The project is located in Manduhu Town, Liaozhong District, Shenyang City, with a total investment of 580 million yuan and covering an area of 60 mu (approx. 10 acres). The project plans to build an 80MW/160MWh electrochemical energy storage facility and a 20MW/3.2MWh flywheel energy storage power station, along with supporting facilities such as the electrochemical area and the flywheel area.

According to Xue Bin, General Manager of Regional Development for Liaoning at Envision Energy, after completion, the project will not only provide large-scale energy storage capacity, but also, through flywheel technology, provide the power grid with scarce rotational inertia resources. At the same time, the project will also offer multiple services including peak shaving, frequency regulation, and emergency backup, promote the consumption of renewable energy such as wind and solar in the region, greatly enhance the flexibility and stability of the power grid, and contribute to the construction of the central Liaoning energy network, the promotion of power system reform, and the high-quality development of new energy industry models.

It is understood that after the project is completed, it will effectively enhance the grid regulation capacity of Liaozhong District, and will be of great significance in promoting the industrial structure adjustment of Liaozhong District and achieving green, low-carbon development.
