  • World’s largest LFP grid-forming goes online in China

    China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has connected a 1 GW/4 GWh battery energy storage project, the DongSu project, to the grid, marking it as a major renewable energy region. This project, the world's largest single-site grid-forming LFP battery storage plant, is expected to discharge around 1 TWh of electricity annually. By deploying grid-forming technology at the gigawatt level, the project provides voltage and frequency support to improve grid stability with high penetrations of wind and solar generation. The combination of peak shifting and grid-support functions allows for the accommodation of variable renewable generation and reduces the reliance on conventional synchronous generation for stability services. China's renewable energy plan for 2026-2030 includes an acceleration of grid-forming technology deployment.

  • Datang plans 14.6 GW renewables cluster in China

    A massive renewable energy complex is planned in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to deliver clean electricity to Jiangsu province. The project, led by Datang (Ordos) Energy Development Co., Ltd., includes 8 GW of solar, 4 GW of wind, 2.04 GW/8.16 GWh of energy storage, and 2.64 GW of coal-fired power, with a total installed capacity of 14.64 GW and a planned investment of about CNY 58.1 billion. Scheduled for phased development from 2026 to 2030, the project aims to reduce renewable curtailment to below 1%, with the first batch of wind and solar capacity expected to be connected to the grid in 2027. By 2030, the project is expected to deliver over 40 TWh of electricity annually to Jiangsu, with renewable power accounting for more than 60% of the total.
