Right around us——

The Nanhe Greenway has been upgraded with new functions, and Fuxing Street is brimming with renewed vitality;

Young dream-chasers head to the countryside, reaching for the stars with their aspirations;

The "Happy Water City" shines even brighter with an enhanced quality of life;

The "Highland of Intelligent Manufacturing" achieves leapfrog improvements in quality and efficiency;

……

These tangible, heartwarming "Xinjin surprises" are embodied in every little change right at our doorsteps.

Xinjin, Chengdu, launches a special series of feature reports –

"Delights at My Doorstep in Xinjin"

Through our shared perspectives, we trace the development journey of this city.

Airing every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening,

let’s witness together

those "Xinjin surprises" woven into time.

Today, at the 23rd stop,

we step into Xinjin,

where the pulse of industrial development meets the warmth of people’s livelihoods.

We’ll see how new energy storage projects,

like "urban power banks", have been launched one after another—

not only storing energy for economic development,

but also "charging up" people’s daily lives.

01 Industrial "Power Banks"

Projects Launched in Succession

Linking Up the New Energy Ecosystem

This year, Xinjin’s new energy storage industry has stepped into the spotlight. One project after another has sprouted and taken root on this promising land, thriving at a remarkable pace.

On December 19, the new energy storage project developed by Sichuan Borui'an New Energy officially broke ground at the Xinjin Economic and Technological Development Zone. With a total investment of 300 million yuan and covering an area of 63.65 mu, the project is scheduled to start production in 2026. It will achieve an annual production capacity of 3 GWh of energy storage products, with an expected annual output value of 1 billion yuan.

"This is not a simple capital integration, but an in-depth strategic synergy of 'technology + market', 'manufacturing + services', and 'eastern experience + western foundations'," said Li Xia, Chairman of Sichuan Zhongxin General Electric Energy Co., Ltd. As a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise (a top-tier category for specialized, sophisticated, and innovative enterprises), Zhongxin General Electric Energy has partnered with Jiangsu Anzhifu Energy to build a new benchmark for the energy storage industry in Southwest China.

New Energy Business Division Headquarters Base, Continental Hope Group

By the end of October, construction of the headquarters base for the New Energy Business Division of Continental Hope Group had entered the final sprint phase. Serving as the group’s R&D and manufacturing hub for new energy, the base covers multiple fields including energy storage technology, battery manufacturing, and energy digitalization. Its independently developed "Shangshu 261" energy storage cabinet has been successfully applied to Southwest China’s first new energy storage dynamic capacity expansion project, which was smoothly connected to the power grid at Hope Cloud Business Park on August 20.

"Four parallel energy storage cabinets can respond in milliseconds when production power load exceeds capacity—just like equipping the factory with an 'intelligent power bank'," explained the project leader. This solution not only fills the power capacity gap but also effectively reduces electricity costs by charging with off-peak (nighttime) power and discharging during peak (daytime) demand periods.

02 Grid "Power Banks"

Shifting Peak Loads to Fill Valley Gaps

Lighting up Thousands of Homes

Energy storage serves not only as an "energy storage battery" for industries but also as a "voltage stabilizer" for the power grid and a "livelihood power bank" for residents.

This summer, Ms. Li, who runs a chain supermarket on Zhengxi Street in Xinjin, felt particularly at ease: "Now the air conditioners run at full capacity all day, and several freezers can operate simultaneously without any issues!" What reassured her was an invisible "power backup" 3 kilometers away—the first 10 kV grid-side energy storage pilot project connected to the power grid in Sichuan Province.

At State Grid Chengdu Xinjin Power Supply Company, a "power matrix" consisting of 30 energy storage devices operates quietly. The project leader made a vivid analogy: "It’s like installing an 'emergency power bank' for the distribution network—it 'absorbs' low-cost electricity during off-peak hours and 'releases' it to guarantee people’s livelihoods during peak demand."

This system can discharge 7,830 kWh of electricity in a single cycle, equivalent to the average daily electricity consumption of 400 households (20 kWh per household). Since its grid connection, it has cumulatively supplied over 100,000 kWh of power during peak periods, precisely filling the midday and evening electricity gaps and safeguarding uninterrupted power supply for five neighborhoods, including Zhengxi Street and Waixi Street.

Meanwhile, in the Xinjin Economic and Technological Development Zone, the larger-scale Dengshuang 100MW/200MWh standalone energy storage power station stands tall. As Chengdu’s first commissioned standalone energy storage project, it can store 200,000 kWh of electricity in one charge—meeting the full-day power demand of 30,000 households. Together with the 10 kV urban grid energy storage project, it forms a hierarchical power supply guarantee echelon, jointly building a "three-dimensional defense system" for Xinjin’s power grid.

03 Livelihood "Power Banks"

Services with Heartfelt Warmth

Development with Substantial Quality

The ultimate goal of industrial development is to enhance people’s sense of well-being. Xinjin’s "energy storage story" is full of mutual dedication between residents and the city.

"Once, at 2 a.m., maintenance personnel resolved a community transformer failure in just 20 minutes—none of the food in the fridge was affected," praised Ms. Wang from North City Community, echoing the feelings of many residents. During the peak summer power consumption period, State Grid Chengdu Xinjin Power Supply Company established six emergency repair and operation teams, deployed drone inspections, and provided 24-hour emergency response—making uninterrupted power supply the new normal.

The successive launch of energy storage projects not only ensures electricity supply for enterprises and residents but also boosts employment and improves the ecological environment. The Southwest Base of Hope New Energy is in full swing with pre-job training and recruitment, building a talent pool for its fourth-quarter commissioning.

"Apart from solid production operations, we aim to be a 'partner' in Xinjin’s industrial upgrading. We are committed to improving the new energy industrial chain alongside Xinjin and contributing to local economic development," stated a relevant person in charge of the base.

From enterprise workshops to the end of the power grid, and from R&D bases to community streets, Xinjin is using "energy storage" as a brush to paint a new energy picture of "prosperous industries, stable power grids, and warm livelihoods".

Today, Xinjin has established Sichuan’s first comprehensive energy storage application scenario covering 110 kV, 10 kV, and 0.4 kV voltage levels. It has realized a smart energy consumption model integrating "photovoltaic-storage synergy" for peak-shaving and time-of-use electricity price guidance, effectively easing the power demand of approximately 100,000 households.

Looking ahead, Xinjin will strive to elevate the level of its new energy storage industrial cluster and promote the implementation of more "urban power banks". To invigorate industrial development with stronger momentum, make power grid operations smarter, and warm thousands of homes with brighter lights—this is the "Xinjin surprise" unfolding at the doorsteps of its residents: a vivid story of empowering development with technology and warming life with energy.

This "Xinjin delight" is right before our eyes, and even brighter in the future.
