[Alashan large-scale energy storage project starts construction] On July 3, 2026, the Afengbaofeng 1000MW/4000MWh new energy storage special project in Ejina Banner, Alxa League officially started construction. The project is fully invested by a subsidiary of Ningxia Baofeng Group, relying on the advantages of the entire industry chain and adopting standardized liquid cooled lithium iron phosphate prefabricated cabin technology. It is planned to be connected to the grid and put into operation within the year. After completion, the project will form a source grid load storage coordination system with surrounding 500 kV substations and supporting transmission lines, effectively ensuring the nearby grid connection and efficient transmission of large-scale wind and solar bases in the region, and consolidating the consumption support capacity of Alxa New Energy Base.

The line starts from Gelaoba South Station in Zunyi, Guizhou, crosses the Chishui River through Bozhou and Renhuai into Sichuan and ends at Dacun Station on the Xuda Railway. The total length is 139.85 kilometers (108 kilometers in Guizhou and 32 kilometers in Sichuan), with a total estimated investment of 19.084 billion yuan. It is planned to be built as a Class II single track electrified railway of the national railway, with a designed speed of 120 kilometers per hour. Six new stations will be built and two connecting stations will be renovated. The project connects the Xuda, Wengma, and Sichuan Guizhou railways, serving as a connecting line between the western land sea new channel and the western central channel, as well as a convenient freight channel between Sichuan and Guizhou. It mainly undertakes the exchange of goods between southern Sichuan, central Guizhou, and some Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, and implements the use of circular railways to reduce logistics costs. At present, it has entered the preliminary design and construction drawing stage, and is expected to start construction before the end of the year.Editor/Gong Ziwei
