27 September 2023Among projects recently reported by China- based stationary battery manufacturer Hithium were a 140 MWh facility in Meizhou City, Guangdong, and a 200 MWh installation in Heze City, Shandong, both employing LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery technology.

For Meizhou City, Hithium served as core supplier to China Southern Power Grid Company. It was that company’s first 100+ MWh level standalone energy storage project.
Hithium describes the facility as a “demonstration project“ and “the world’s first to be fully supplied with immersion liquid- cooling energy storage”, making it a “milestone application of Hithium’s safer, more efficient liquid-cooling technology.”
Construction took just four months, from start to a trial operation.

The Heze City installation consists of 198 MWh of LFP battery storage plus 2 MWh of VRB (vanadium redox). To meet “continuing demand from large-scale energy storage projects”, Hithium says it is expanding its production capacity to 70 GWh per year by the end of 2023.
