The station in Nanning, in the Guangxi autonomous region in southern China, has a storage capacity of 10 megawatt hours. The success of the emerging battery technology could cut reliance on imports of raw materials such as lithium and cobalt. — SCMP
The launch of China’s first large-scale sodium-ion battery energy storage station could have wide-ranging implications for the clean-energy industry, as the new technology is seen as a promising alternative to resource-dependent lithium batteries.
The sodium-ion battery energy storage station in Nanning, in the Guangxi autonomous region in southern China, has an initial storage capacity of 10 megawatt hours (MWh) and is expected to reach 100MWh when the project is fully developed, China Southern Power Grid said on Saturday.
