This year, China will carry out the first large-scale green electricity trading across power grid operation areas.
On March 6, it was learned from the Guangzhou Electric Power Trading Center that from today (6th), green electricity from Guangxi and Yunnan will be delivered to East China through market-oriented transactions, which is also the first large-scale cross-power grid green electricity transaction in China this year. It is understood that through the Guangzhou and Beijing power trading centers, green electricity from Guangxi and Yunnan will continue to flow into Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places from today until March 31. The transaction will generate 314 million kWh of electricity, 100% of which will be green electricity, with wind power accounting for 90% and p

First Grid-Forming ESS Project in Northern Hebei Goes Online

Recently, the first grid-forming ESS project in the northern Hebei power grid—the Beijing Hengyuan Zhangbei County 300 MW/600 MWh standalone ESS power station—was officially connected to the grid and began generating electricity. The grid-forming ESS capacity is 50 MW/100 MWh, using Sungrow’s grid-forming technology, adding an adjustable “dam” to conventional new energy plants to make the “green electricity river” more controllable and stable. This strongly enhances the reliability of power supply in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and sets a new milestone for high-quality transmission of new energy.
