On October 18, construction officially began on the 200 MW / 400 MWh Independent Shared Energy Storage Power Station Project in Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province. This marks Guangdong’s first new-type energy storage station connected to a large-scale offshore wind power grid node. The project adopts advanced grid-forming technology to enhance the consumption and flexible regulation of renewable energy, supporting the creation of a system-friendly renewable power station and the development of a new-type power system.

Jointly invested by China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. and Xuwen County Infrastructure Construction Co., Ltd., the project will build a 200 MW / 400 MWh high-voltage cascade all-liquid-cooled lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) energy storage station.

This independent shared energy storage station functions like a massive “shared power bank”, capable of serving multiple users. On one hand, it will support the consumption of wind and solar power, coordinating the power transmission needs of offshore wind farms in southern Zhanjiang. On the other hand, it will supply green and zero-carbon electricity for local industrial and residential use. Additionally, it can participate in grid emergency regulation and provide ancillary services, improving the safety and flexibility of the new-type power system.

Notably, the project will also strengthen Xuwen’s ability to cope with extreme weather and ensure energy security. Located in a coastal area frequently hit by typhoons and thunderstorms, Xuwen’s power facilities often face severe challenges. The independent storage system will enhance the grid’s resilience, emergency response, and self-healing capabilities, safeguarding lives, property, and the stable operation of the local economy and society.

The project is also Xuwen’s first “land-acquisition-to-construction” fast-track project. To ensure efficient implementation, the county government coordinated relevant departments to conduct parallel approvals, expediting the entire project process. On the same day, it issued four key permits - the Land Ownership Certificate, Land Use Planning Permit, Construction Planning Permit, and Construction Permit - and achieved financing disbursement, pressing the “fast-forward button” for project delivery and construction.
