SMM May 11 spot review of lithium manganate: today's lithium manganate (power type) price is 3.4-36000 yuan / ton, the average price is 35000 yuan / ton, the power market transactions sporadic, the price remains unchanged; The price of lithium manganate (volume type) is 215,300 yuan / ton, there are many types of capacity products, the price range is wide, the price of lithium carbonate drops slightly before the festival, some manufacturers reduce the price, the overall price fluctuates slightly within the range, and the trading volume of the post-festival market is not much.

Affected by the overseas epidemic in April, export orders for consumer terminal goods in Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia were sharply reduced or directly cancelled, and the orders of a number of lithium manganate enterprises were damaged, and the output of more than 50% of enterprises fell 30%-50% in April compared with the previous month. The consumer market in Europe and the United States gradually picked up in May, but given the slow recovery overseas, order demand is not expected to resume until June. In addition, the performance of the domestic electric two-wheeler market is better, but in view of the recent large price decline and the advantage of energy density, many battery factories have increased the proportion of ternary batteries, and the demand for lithium manganate materials has not changed.

Guangdong's First Standalone ESS Project Linked to Offshore Wind Grid
On March 14, the Zhanjiang Xuwen 200 MW/400 MWh standalone shared ESS power station project, built by Energy China Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute under the integrated “research-industry-investment-construction-operation” model, was successfully connected to the grid, becoming Guangdong Province’s first standalone energy storage project connected to a large-scale offshore wind power grid connection point. The project adopts advanced grid-forming technology and a fully liquid-cooled cascaded LFP ESS, featuring millisecond-level rapid response, high safety, and a cycle life of more than 6,000 cycles, effectively enhancing the power grid’s capacity to accommodate and regulate fluctuating new energy sources such as offshore wind power. The project can simultaneously serve new energy consumption, power grid peak shaving and frequency regulation, and emergency power supply support, becoming a key carrier for the local development pattern of “wind and solar power + energy storage support + zero-carbon port industries.”
