en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 30th, Spring is a favorable period for project construction. Located in Shexian County, Hebei Province, China, Hangang Nengjia Steel Co., Ltd. is accelerating the progress of its industrial and commercial energy storage project, enhancing construction efficiency through multi-point construction and process coordination.
At the construction site, excavators are performing earthwork, workers are engaged in rebar tying and welding, surveyors are checking parameters, concrete pouring proceeds alongside formwork installation, with multiple work faces operating in coordination.
Zheng Chuanyou, the project manager for the construction side, stated: "The total project capacity is 240 megawatts, divided into six areas for construction. Currently, Area One, Area Three, and Area Six are basically completed, with supporting facilities under construction. Area Two and Area Five are expected to be finished by mid-April, and the main control building should be ready for equipment hoisting around mid-May."
The project is invested by Shexian Weiguang Genyuan Energy Storage Co., Ltd., covering an area of approximately 11,484 square meters, and is planned in two phases. The first phase has a scale of 70MW/140MWh, and the second phase is 50MW/100MWh. Construction on the first phase began in October 2025 and is scheduled to be operational by June 2026.
The project adopts a user-side energy storage model, with electricity supplied to the production of the Hangang New Area. By charging during off-peak hours and discharging during peak hours, it reduces electricity costs. It also serves as an emergency power source to ensure the stable operation of key processes like steelmaking, minimizing losses from power outages.
Technically, the project uses lithium iron phosphate batteries with a high cycle life and is equipped with a smart energy management system. This system enables precise regulation of power generation resources such as on-site photovoltaic and wind power, along with production electricity consumption, thereby improving energy efficiency.
Currently, the project has completed preliminary work including filing, geological surveys, and design reviews. Civil construction for the first phase has reached 50% completion, and all aspects of construction are progressing according to plan.
Hu Peipei, a technician at Hangang New Area, said: "In the future, we will integrate power generation resources and regulate electricity consumption balance, making energy storage technology a key support for green and low-carbon development and exploring efficient pathways for industrial energy utilization."
