On December 30, 2024, the Inner Mongolia Dengkou Power Storage New Energy Project, for which Northwest Institute acted as the EPC general contractor, was connected to the grid and began generating power.

After 69 days of arduous effort, the general contracting project department of Northwest Institute completed with high quality the grid connection target for the largest single-unit-capacity energy storage station in China. The 605 MW/1410 MWh energy storage station in Dengkou County, Inner Mongolia, adopts a storage system combining all-vanadium flow and electrochemical technologies, and is currently the largest single-unit-capacity energy storage station under construction in China. Since construction began in October 2024, in the face of many difficulties such as a tight schedule, heavy tasks, high technical difficulty, and winter construction, the project department of Northwest Institute relied on its rich EPC management experience to respond actively and take the initiative, ensuring that the project completed all milestone tasks on schedule. The project department fulfilled its duties and responsibilities, making every effort to ensure drawing efficiency, select high-quality equipment and materials, and precisely formulate construction plans, thereby efficiently advancing project construction, earning praise in the new energy industry, receiving commendations from the owner on multiple occasions, and attracting several organizations to visit for exchange and learning. The successful grid connection of the project plays an important role in effectively addressing new energy consumption, enhancing the flexibility of the power system, and improving the safe and stable operation of the power grid. After completion and commissioning, it will significantly raise the local level of power and energy security and play a positive role in boosting the high-quality development of the local economy and society.
