It was learned from the Qinghai Branch of China Huadian Corporation Ltd. that the cumulative power generation of China's first high-altitude PV-hydrogen-energy storage integrated project—the Huadian Delingha 1 million kW PV+ESS and 3 MW PV hydrogen production project—has exceeded 4 billion kWh. The project is located in Delingha City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and features supporting facilities including a 3 MW hydrogen production station, a 330 kV booster station, and a 270 MW/1,080 MWh ESS power station. It is among the first batch of large-scale wind and solar power base projects in desert-Gobi-wasteland areas in China, and also represents China's first attempt at green electricity hydrogen production in high-altitude areas.

[SMM Energy Storage Battery Cell Market Weekly Review 8.06] Energy storage battery cell prices remain stable, with large-capacity products expected to accelerate shipments in H2

[SMM Analysis] This week, the energy storage battery cell market remained stable overall. The pullback in lithium chemical prices has not yet significantly transmitted to the battery cell side, and only some orders adopting a raw material linkage mechanism saw slight downward adjustments. The average price of 314 Ah battery cells remained around 0.365 Yuan/Wh. As the implementation details of the battery consumption tax have not yet been released, most battery cell enterprises have not yet uniformly raised prices. The additional tax costs may be shared through negotiation between upstream and downstream players in the industry chain. In terms of product structure, in H1, shipments of large-capacity battery cells above 500 Ah reached approximately 42 GWh, accounting for 8.6%. The market is still dominated by deliveries of 314 Ah products. As large battery cell capacity is gradually released in H2, the shipment share of these cells is expected to increase to around 15%.

The cobalt powder market remained weak this week, and actual transactions stayed thin.

The cobalt powder market remained weak this week, and actual transactions stayed thin. On the supply side, mainstream producers kept their offers within RMB 440,000‑460,000 per tonne, while some physical deal prices have dipped to RMB 430,000‑440,000 per tonne. More low‑price offers emerged among traders, further depressing market psychological price levels. Cobalt carbonate, the raw material, remained under price pressure. Some offers have fallen below RMB 200,000 per tonne. Market trading nearly stalled with no valid transaction references available. Downstream cemented carbide enterprises are constrained by end‑user orders, showing no acceleration in raw‑material consumption and maintaining slow purchasing rhythms. Apart from long‑term contract orders, spot‑deal volumes are relatively limited. In terms of market sentiment, most participants adopt a wait‑and‑see stance, generally believing that no notable market improvement will materialize in the short term.
