[Wanma New Energy's large-scale energy storage project starts construction] Recently, the core project of Wanma New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.'s new energy storage special action, the 500000 kW/2 million kWh grid side energy storage project, has officially started construction in Naiman Banner, Inner Mongolia. The total investment of this project is 1.9 billion yuan, located on the east side of the Naiman Jinsha 500kV substation in Daqintala Town, with a planned land area of 200 acres, marking a new stage of large-scale energy storage development on the power grid side in China. The project adopts the full lithium iron phosphate technology route and plans to construct a 500MW/2000MWh energy storage system, with a total of 100 sets of standardized 5MW/20MWh energy storage units. Each unit is integrated with one 5MWPCS all-in-one machine, four 5MWh battery compartments, and a complete set of supporting facilities in a prefabricated container, achieving modular deployment. The electrical system is connected to the 35kV distribution equipment through 24 collection lines, and is boosted to 220kV by two 250MVA main transformers before being connected to the Jinsha 500kV substation, creating an efficient grid connection channel. After the project is put into operation, it can achieve an annual sales revenue of 3 billion yuan and a tax revenue of 100 million yuan, create 200 job opportunities, significantly enhance the peak shaving and new energy consumption capacity of the Inner Mongolia East Power Grid, provide an important demonstration for the construction of a new power system, and promote the coordinated development of energy transformation and regional economy.

• [Chinese banks assist in landing 15GW clean energy project]
• In the global energy transition wave, Saudi Arabia's actions are attracting the attention of the world. Recently, Saudi energy giant ACWA Power announced that it has secured a massive financing of up to $5.95 billion for its 15GW clean energy projects. This funding will be used to support two wind power projects and five photovoltaic projects located within Saudi Arabia, demonstrating the clear strategy of this oil kingdom to extend its energy dominance through new energy. This financing can be regarded as a "national team global tour", attracting 29 financial institutions from the Gulf region, Europe, China, Japan and other places to participate. Among them, several Chinese financial institutions, including Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and China Minsheng Bank, have provided strong support. The loan term is as long as 27 years, reflecting the confidence of international capital in the long-term prospects of Saudi Arabia's new energy development. The equity structure of the project is jointly held by ACWA Power, Badeel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saudi sovereign fund PIF, and Saudi Aramco Power Company. This national level risk sharing model greatly enhances market confidence. All projects are expected to be fully operational from the second half of 2027 to the first half of 2028. Saudi Arabia's rapid execution capability is in line with its strategy of seizing the future "second pot of gold" - by building a globally leading low-cost green power base, laying the foundation for future industries such as hydrogen energy and green metallurgy, and reshaping its role in the global energy landscape.

• [Chinese energy storage companies have won consecutive large orders in Europe]
• Chinese energy storage companies have recently made significant breakthroughs in the European market. With the cumulative installed capacity of energy storage in Europe expected to exceed the 100GW mark by November 2025, the market is entering a critical stage of large-scale development. In this context, China Automotive New Energy has signed a 2GWh energy storage strategic cooperation agreement with Belgian energy company AVESTA, while Kubo Energy has also reached a 1GWh strategic cooperation agreement with Romania's VoltLink Energy. As a joint venture between multiple Chinese state-owned enterprises in the field of power batteries, China Automotive New Energy has obtained over 14GWh of energy storage orders worldwide by 2025. Kubo Energy continues to focus on the European market, and this cooperation aims to build an energy service ecosystem that covers the entire chain. The signing of these orders reflects a structural change in the European energy storage market from household use to large-scale project dominance, driven by a significant improvement in energy storage economics. From 2022 to 2025, the cost of European LFP energy storage systems has decreased by about 37%, and the reform of the electricity market has created a diversified revenue model of "energy arbitrage+ancillary services" for energy storage. Despite Europe's ambitious goal of 500-780 GWh by 2030, the path to achieving it still faces challenges. The lengthy approval process and fragmented internal market may constrain the pace of development. The strong entry of Chinese energy storage companies not only seizes the opportunity of market explosion, but also injects key technological products and solutions into Europe's energy transformation.
