Chinese energy storage company Narada announced on April 14, 2026, that the on-site construction work for the 200MW/400MWh shared energy storage power station located in Xingning Industrial Park, Meizhou, has been successfully completed.The milestone follows the completion of system installation, engineering work, and commissioning activities carried out earlier as part of the project development process.
Meizhou has rapidly expanded its renewable energy infrastructure in recent years. By the end of November 2025, renewable energy accounted for 73.71% of the city’s total installed power generation capacity. Distributed photovoltaic installations in the region also ranked among the highest in Guangdong Province. While the rapid growth of clean energy has accelerated the transition toward low-carbon power generation, it has simultaneously increased pressure on grid stability due to the intermittent and fluctuating nature of renewable electricity output.
Industry observers note that the rising share of renewable generation has created growing demand for flexible energy storage systems capable of balancing electricity supply and demand. Energy storage facilities can help smooth output fluctuations, improve grid regulation capability, and enhance overall operational reliability for power networks facing increasing renewable penetration.
Meizhou’s geographical location in eastern Guangdong also presents additional challenges for local grid infrastructure. Compared with major coastal economic hubs, the regional grid structure remains relatively weak. The newly completed energy storage station is expected to reduce supply pressure on both transmission and distribution networks during periods of peak electricity consumption while storing surplus electricity generated during off-peak periods. This operational model supports “peak shaving and valley filling,” improving overall power utilization efficiency.
The project marks the first grid-side energy storage power station developed in Xingning, Meizhou. On the DC side, the facility includes 80 battery energy storage containers, each with a capacity of 5MWh. The system’s core technology is built around Narada’s independently developed 314Ah lithium battery cells, designed to provide stable long-duration energy storage performance for utility-scale applications.
Narada supplied its Center L Plus 5MWh+ liquid-cooled energy storage system for the project. According to the company, the system was selected for its strong safety performance, long operational lifespan, and high energy efficiency. Liquid-cooling technology is becoming increasingly common in large-scale battery energy storage projects because it helps maintain consistent operating temperatures and improves long-term system reliability.
Once fully connected to the power grid, the energy storage station is expected to become a key energy infrastructure asset supporting industrial and economic development in Xingning. The facility will help ease electricity supply pressure during high-demand periods, support stable manufacturing operations for local enterprises, and contribute to the continued expansion of industrial parks across the region.
The project is also expected to support the broader development of Meizhou’s new energy industry by strengthening renewable energy integration capabilities and enhancing local grid resilience. As China continues accelerating the deployment of utility-scale energy storage projects,facilities such as the Xingning shared energy storage station are increasingly viewed as essential components of modern power systems.
