The Sichuan Times Phase 8 project is an important part of Ningde Times' layout in Yibin. Previously, CATL had signed contracts for Sichuan Times Phase 1-6, Phase 8-10, Times Geely, and Times Chang'an projects in Yibin, with a total investment of 64 billion yuan and a planned annual production capacity of 295 gigawatt hours. The successive operation and construction of these projects not only greatly enhance Yibin's production capacity and scale in the field of power batteries, but also promote the improvement and development of Yibin's power battery industry chain.

The commencement of the Sichuan Times Phase 8 project will further consolidate Yibin's position in the global power battery industry and help Yibin accelerate the construction of a world-class power battery industry cluster. After the project is completed, it is expected to drive employment of about 2000 people and inject new vitality into the local economic development.

To ensure the smooth construction of the Sichuan Times Phase 8 project, Yibin City is accelerating the construction of a series of supporting facilities, including a 220 kV substation in the hills and a central sewage treatment plant. The improvement of these supporting facilities will provide strong support for the construction and operation of the project.

At the same time, around power battery projects such as Sichuan Times Phase 8, Yibin City has also gathered 28 upstream and downstream supporting enterprises including Sinoma Lithium Film, Kedali, and Yinlun, forming a green closed-loop full industry chain ecosystem of power batteries with a local matching rate of over 90% for structural components. The establishment of this ecosystem not only enhances the competitiveness of Yibin's power battery industry, but also provides strong support for the development of the project.
