TBEA Invests in 1GW Photovoltaic, 2GW Wind Power, and Energy Storage Projects in Zhundong with Total Investments of Over 10 Billion Yuan

[SMM Analysis: Hebei's "Lithium-Sodium Hybrid Storage" Deploys in Batches: Sodium-Ion Battery ESS Enters Provincial Verification Period] SMM, September 23: Recently, sodium-ion battery energy storage projects in Hebei have appeared intensively across filing, tendering, winning bid results, and construction commencement stages, making it one of the fastest provinces in China in terms of sodium-ion battery deployment pace on the electricity ESS side. After reviewing the public lists of the Hebei Provincial Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), as well as EPC and equipment tender winning bid results, SMM believes: Hebei is no longer a "policy statement" player, but has placed sodium-ion batteries into the project library of standalone ESS, grid connection timelines, and bidding sections—sodium-ion batteries are moving from demonstration fences into the provincial electricity market, entering a verification period with real money.
