China’s first major sodium-ion battery energy storage station is now online, according to state-owned utility China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage. The Fulin Sodium-ion Battery Energy Storage Station entered operation on May 11 in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in southern China.
Chen Man, a senior engineer at China Southern Power Grid, said [via the South China Morning Post] that once sodium-ion battery energy storage enters the stage of large-scale development, its cost can be reduced by 20-30%. He continued:
The development and use of sodium-ion batteries can help reduce China’s reliance on imported raw materials for lithium-ion batteries. China has abundant sodium resources, making this technology particularly advantageous. Source: yicaiglobal.com
Large-scale sodium-ion batteries are gaining momentum due to their lower cost and abundance of raw materials compared to lithium-ion batteries. The challenges with sodium-ion batteries have been lower energy density and shorter lifespans that can limit efficiency and long-term performance in large-scale applications.
The Fulin Sodium-ion Battery Energy Storage Station entered operation on May 11 in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in southern China. Its initial storage capacity is said to be 10 megawatt hours (MWh). Once fully developed, the Station is expected to reach a total capacity of 100 MWh.
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.
