[Qiannan in Guizhou Aims for Over 1.3GW/2.6GWh of Grid-Connected Energy Storage by 2027]On December 22, 2025, the Office of the People's Government of Qiannan Prefecture officially issued the "Implementation Plan for High Quality Development of Energy Industry in Qiannan Prefecture (2025-2027)". The plan clearly proposes to actively expand the scale of new energy storage, combine the development needs of new energy with the power grid's consumption capacity, accelerate the implementation of a batch of energy storage projects, coordinate the development of energy storage resources throughout the state, and strengthen cooperation with surrounding areas and advantageous enterprises. By 2027, the cumulative installed capacity of grid connected energy storage in the whole state will exceed 1.3 million kilowatts/2.6 million kilowatt hours, in order to enhance the supply guarantee and regulation and consumption capacity of the power system.

In the Jalan Bani Bu Ali area along the eastern coast of Oman, China's wind power technology is facing a critical test. On December 15, 2025, a joint venture under China Energy Engineering Corporation successfully won the bid for a local 120 MW wind power project, with plans to install 16 7.5 MW wind turbines and an estimated annual power generation of 400 million kilowatt hours, which can meet the electricity needs of nearly 100000 households. This is not only another breakthrough for Chinese enterprises in the Oman new energy market, but also a proof of China's wind power equipment's ability to adapt to the high temperature, high humidity, and strong sandstorm environment in the Middle East.
The project adopts the joint venture model of China Energy Construction Innovation, integrating the overseas resources of China Electric Engineering International Corporation, the design capabilities of East China Institute, and the construction experience of Hunan Thermal Power, forming a one-stop solution covering the entire industry chain. For Oman, the project will enhance the power supply capacity along the eastern coast and support its energy transformation strategy; For Chinese companies, this is an important milestone in achieving rolling development in the high-end market. Through green energy cooperation, Chinese companies are bringing mature wind power technology and engineering experience to the Middle East, helping optimize the local energy structure while also demonstrating professional responsibility in addressing global climate change.

On December 22, 2025, the Development and Reform Commission of Hohhot City announced the official launch of the competitive allocation of independent new energy storage projects for 2026. The total scale of this competitive energy storage construction is 300000 kilowatts, and the project can be connected to the 220 kV side of Wuchuan, Kezhen, and Hongquan. The declared project capacity must comply with the relevant regulations of the autonomous region, and all projects included in the scale must be put into operation before the end of 2026. Central enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and eligible private enterprises are welcome to participate in the application. The total assets of participating enterprises must meet the corresponding requirements for energy storage project construction.Editor/Yang Meiling
