Guangzhou Development Group Co., Ltd. disclosed on January 21, 2026 that as of December 2025, the company has built a total of approximately 703MW/1393MWh of energy storage projects, covering Guangdong, Jiangsu, Hebei and other regions, with business covering three major scenarios: power supply side, power grid side, and user side. Among them, the largest grid side independent energy storage project in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, Foshan Gaoming Independent Energy Storage Power Station (208MW/416MWh), has been put into operation, and the largest user side energy storage project in East China, Jiangsu Huiran Industrial Energy Storage Project, has also been connected to the grid for operation. The company stated that the return rate of energy storage projects varies depending on the peak valley price difference and power structure in different regions, and the overall returns are good. Currently, it is actively building a development pattern centered on the Greater Bay Area, radiating across the country, and expanding overseas.Editor/Yang Meiling
A123 Company announced that it will hold a new product launch event on January 23, 2026 at 19:00, with the theme of "Smart Starry Sky · Smart Storage for the Future". This press conference will be the global debut of a full range of energy storage products based on semi-solid immersion technology, including the Star series semi-solid battery cells and the Star River series four scenario based energy storage systems. These products are designed for key areas such as data centers, harsh outdoor environments, and offshore deep-sea environments, aiming to fundamentally block the risk of thermal runaway through semi-solid immersion technology and provide inherently safe energy infrastructure. The release of A123 marks a further breakthrough in energy storage technology in terms of safety and application scenarios.Editor/Yang Meiling
