China Huadian has connected a 100 megawatt and 1,000 megawatt hour compressed carbon dioxide energy storage plant to the electrical grid in Xinjiang, PV Magazine reported. Energy Storage News and Exa Energy also reported that the project connected to the grid in China. [1][2][4][5]

The facility provides 10 hours of storage capacity and is expected to generate 200 gigawatt hours of electricity annually, PV Magazine reported. The project is designed to support the integration of renewable energy into the grid and reduce carbon emissions. [1][4]

Market oriented reforms since 1978 have supported infrastructure and technological advances in renewable energy across China. Energy Storage News reported that the firm Energy Dome stated it is taking action to defend its intellectual property rights as comparisons are made between its technology and the system used by Exa Energy.
