Installed capacity of new energy storage surges in Xinjiang
URUMQI -- The advanced new energy storage installed capacity in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region reached 20.15 million kilowatts by the end of 2025, according to the State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Company.
This breakthrough supports Xinjiang's efforts to become a national energy resource strategic base. By the end of 2025, the region's new energy installed capacity hit 161 million kW.
The advanced new energy storage is crucial for addressing the intermittency and volatility of renewable energy. The storage system comprises multiple technologies, including lithium iron phosphate, all-vanadium flow battery, and flywheel storage.
In 2025, the charging electricity of the system amounted to 9.1 billion kWh, with discharging at 7.7 billion kWh.
Li Guoqing, head of the hydropower and new energy department of the company, said that this achievement marks Xinjiang's accelerated shift from a clean energy production zone to a robust energy storage and dispatch area, enhancing the quality of clean energy utilization.
