In what is described as the largest energy storage procurement in China’s history, Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) is targeting an unprecedented cumulative storage capacity of 16 GWh. The bids were opened on December 4. The tender attracted 76 bidders, with quoted prices ranging from $60.5/kWh to $82/kWh, averaging $66.3/kWh.
According to provisional auction results released by NGESO, almost half of the winning battery projects propose one-hour duration systems, while about 40% are for two-hour facilities. The list of winning schemes includes Zenobe, Gresham House, Harmony Energy, Pivot Power and SUSI Storage, among others.
Once finalized, procurement contracts will be signed, eliminating the need for separate tenders. This procurement covers a comprehensive range of services beyond the delivery of storage equipment, including system design, installation guidance, commissioning, 20-year maintenance, and integrated safety features.
This storage initiative is part of PowerChina’s broader equipment procurement plan announced on November 13, which also includes 51 GW of solar modules, 51 GW of inverters, 25 GW of wind turbines, and 15,240 prefabricated 35kV substations.
