Rudong 25 MW/100 MWh EVx system became fully interconnected to the local state utility grid in December 2023 as planned, enabling full commissioning, inverse power and operational activity powered by the State Grid
A second EVx system in Zhangye City, Gansu Province, started in Q2 2023 has completed foundation work and initial four floors of construction above ground
Both the Rudong and Zhangye EVx Gravity Storage Systems have been formally designated and recognized as “new energy storage pilot demonstration projects” by China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) in their formal announcements last month
Combined with Rudong EVx, 468 MWh of the total announced 3.7 GWh of Energy Vault’s EVx gravity energy storage systems (GESS) are now under construction in China, the world’s largest and fastest growing energy storage market
Construction of 17 MW/68 MWh EVx located in Zhangye City, Gansu Province, 50 MW/200 MWh EVx located in Ziuquan City, Jinta County, Gansu Province, and 25MW/100MWh EVx located in Huailai Cunrui Town, Zhangjiakou County, Hebei Province began in 2023
Nine EVx GESS deployments now underway in China totaling 3.7 GWh, each of which will generate future project revenue royalty streams to Energy Vault as systems are built and commissioned
