On May 18, 2024, the groundbreaking ceremony of Weijing Energy Storage's 3GW zinc-iron flow battery Baotou intelligent manufacturing base project was held. This milestone construction marks a significant breakthrough in Inner Mongolia's advanced flow battery industry, filling the gap It has identified the gap in Baotou City’s long-term energy storage technology field.

As the largest Super G factory in the country, this smart manufacturing base project has a total construction area of 208,000 square meters. It is expected to be put into operation in the first half of 2025 and reach full production before the end of the year. After the project is completed, it is expected that the annual output value will reach about 20 billion yuan, and it will contribute about 240 million yuan in local tax revenue, becoming a powerful engine to promote the development of the new energy industry chain in Inner Mongolia and even the country.

Ge Qun, chairman of Weijing Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd., said at the groundbreaking ceremony that Baotou City, as an important base for energy, raw materials and equipment manufacturing in Inner Mongolia and even the country, is actively building a complete new energy industry chain with its strong development momentum. The start of construction of Weijing Energy Storage's 3GW zinc-iron redox flow battery Baotou intelligent manufacturing base project is not only an important strategic layout of the company to deeply explore the northwest region, but also a step forward for the company to realize its vision of "creating a future in which humans and nature thrive" a solid pace. The completion of the new factory will effectively promote the green and high-quality economic development of Baotou City and even Inner Mongolia as a whole, accelerate the rise of new productive forces, and help build a new power system integrating source, grid, load and storage.

Since its establishment in 2018, Weijing Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. has focused on the national energy security strategy and the research and development of core technologies in the dual-carbon field, and is committed to the large-scale application of new energy storage products. It is based on zinc-based flow battery energy storage technology. After more than 40 years of research and development, this technology has become an ideal solution for grid-level energy storage. With its excellent technical strength and continuous innovation, Weijing Energy Storage was recognized as a national high-tech enterprise in December 2022, and in 2023, it successively won the Shanghai Specialized, Specialized and New Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and the National Specialized, Specialized and New Small Enterprises. Giant Enterprise, Chinese Unicorn Enterprise, the National Energy Administration's third batch of the first major technical equipment in the energy field, and many other honors.

The start of construction of Weijing Energy Storage's 3GW zinc-iron redox flow battery Baotou intelligent manufacturing base project is not only a concrete manifestation of Qingshan District's implementation of new development concepts and adherence to the path of green and sustainable development, but also a contribution to the country's carbon peak and carbon neutrality strategic response. The project will rely on breakthrough energy storage technology and leading intelligent manufacturing capabilities to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of regional energy, lead the clustered development of the energy storage industry in Qingshan District, and contribute significantly to the realization of green development goals.Editor/Cheng Liting
