4 FAQs about China Southern Power Grid Lithium Battery Energy Storage

What is the first large-scale sodium-ion battery energy storage station in China?

In May 2024, Southern Grid commissioned a 10 MWh sodium-ion battery energy storage station in Nanning, Guangxi province, the first large-scale sodium-ion battery energy storage station in China. The energy storage station can store 100,000 kWh of electricity on a single charge, which can meet the needs of around 12,000 households for a day.

Where will lithium-sodium hybrid systems be deployed in China?

As standardization frameworks develop, lithium-sodium hybrid systems could see broader deployment across China's renewable-rich regions such as Tibet, Xinjiang, and Gansu. Grid-forming storage is projected to account for up to 40% of China's new energy storage market by 2030.

Where is baochi energy storage station located?

The Baochi energy storage station -- operated by China Southern Power Grid (Southern Grid) and located in Wenshan, Yunnan province in southwestern China -- can store up to 800,000 kWh of electricity per day, which can be used by 270,000 households, according to a Xinhua news agency report yesterday.

Does a hybrid lithium-sodium storage system save money?

CSG estimates that the hybrid lithium-sodium model reduces system costs by around 30% compared with sodium-only storage, offering a more balanced trade-off between efficiency and economics.
