Recently, China Power Construction Group officially signed the EPC contract for the 2.1GW + 7.75GWh RTC solar-plus-storage project in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), with a contract value of approximately RMB 13.962 billion. As one of the largest integrated solar-plus-storage projects in the Middle East and even the world, the signing of the contract marks the project’s transition into the full implementation phase, which is projected to be delivered in 2027.
Jinko ESS, a global leading energy storage solution provider and a subsidiary of Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., recently announced the successful completion of a large-scale fire test for SunTera 5MWh Liquid-Cooling Energy Storage System. Conducted at a specialized testing facility in Suzhou City, Anhui Province, the test followed the CSA C800 standard and the November 2025 draft of UL 9540A and was witnessed on-site by CSA Group representatives and North American fire protection engineers.
Recently, China has achieved a major breakthrough in the research and development of compressed air energy storage(CAES) technology . Developed jointly by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences(IET, CAS) and ZHONG-CHU-GUO-NENG(BEIJING)TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD., the world’s first CAES compressor with the largest single unit power has successfully passed the third-party testing accredited by CNAS. According to the test results, the compressor achieved maximum discharge pressure of 10.1MPa, a maximum power output of 101MW and an operating range of 38.7% to 118.4% under variable conditions and an efficiency of 88.1% at maximum discharge pressure, reaching an internationally leading level.
On January 8, 2026, a 500MWh standalone Battery Energy Storage System(BESS) project located at Maritsa East 3 in Bulgaria was officially commissioned. The project was the jointly developed by BYD Energy Storage and ContourGlobal under their strategic collaboration which is one of the largest standalone energy storage projects in East Europe.
Recently, Tianneng Group signed a strategic agreement with NASDAQ-listed company VCIG Group. The two parties will build a 1GWh AIDC solar energy storage power station in Malacca, Malaysia. The project aims to address the high-energy-consumption challenge of AIDC and will be developed under an “EPC+F” model.
Expanding effective investment is a key lever for stabilizing growth and improving people’s livelihoods. According to China Southern Power Grid, the company has embarked RMB 180 billion for fixed-asset investment in 2026, marking a record high for fifth consecutive year, with an annual growth rate of 9.5%. Investment will be directed primarily toward the development of a new-type power system, the growth of strategic emerging industries and the enhancement of high-quality power supply services, providing solid support for a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
On January 16th, Cornex New Energy signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Egypt-based partners WeaCan and Kemet.
The agreement was signed by Dai Deming, chairman of Cornex New Energy and Ahmed Salaheldin Abdelwahab Elabd, Chiarman of the Board of Kemet. The signing ceremony was witnessed by Moustafa Kamal Esmat Mahmoud, minister of Egypt’s Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy, along with other government officials and senior executives from relevent enterprises.
The Phase I 100MW/200MWh Nanlang energy storage power station, supplied by Sineng Electric, has now been successfully commissioned and put into operation. As the first large-scale standalone energy storage project on the grid side to be completed and commissioned in Zhongshan, China, the facility not only injects enhanced flexibility into the regional power grid, but establishes efficient and reliable revenue mechanism through an innovative frequency regulation service model.
In December 2025, the 500MW/2000MWh energy storage project was successfully grid-connected in Dengkou, Inner Mongolia. The energy storage station, standing proudly under the winter sun, is the first GWh-level project delivered by JD Energy. It not only set a new record for the scale of a single project but marked a significant milestone in the company’s development with its outstanding construction achievements.
2025 marks a pivotal year for the energy storage industry. The large energy storage cells, which were once limited to “theoretical parameters”, will officially bid farewell to the technical competition phase and enter the practical testing stage of capacity release, yield improvement, and project implementation. Leading enterprises like CATL, EVE, Envision, HTHIUM, and SUNWODA have successively achieved mass production and delivery, and with the intensive landing of GWh-level strategic cooperation and accelerated expansion into overseas markets, this marks the transition of large-capacity cells from lab prototypes to commercial applications. The speed at which energy storage systems are evolving to higher energy density and lower cost has far exceeded industry expectations.
Egypt has taken a major step toward accelerating its clean energy transition, as Chinese energy storage leader Sungrow and Norwegian renewable developer Scatec partner with the Egyptian government to deliver large-scale solar+storage projects and establish the Middle East’s first battery energy storage manufacturing base, with a planned annual capacity of 10 GWh.
Mingyang Longyuan has built a major milestone in China’s energy storage sector with the successful full-capacity grid connection of its first 100MW/400MWh high-voltage cascade independent energy storage project in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. The project’s commissioning highlights the company’s technological strength in large-scale, high-efficiency, and highly reliable energy storage solutions, while reinforcing the critical role of advanced storage systems in supporting grid stability and renewable energy integration.
