In recent days, Zhaoqing has continued to increase investment in industries related to "two new and one electricity", and persistently "accumulates grain" in the industrial chain, supply chain, and innovation chain. At the same time, traditional industries are also accelerating their revitalization, continuously promoting the transformation of old and new driving forces and the coordinated upgrading of industries through new projects and models.
Recently, the Investment Promotion Center of Zhaoqing City released its 2025 report card, stating that the planned investment amount for introducing manufacturing projects in the city has exceeded 100 billion yuan for three consecutive years. The Weilide all vanadium flow battery project is one of the projects with an investment of over 1 billion yuan.
On the basis of an investment of 3.2 billion yuan in 2024, this project will increase its investment by 5.7 billion yuan in 2025, becoming one of the iconic projects in the large-scale industrial agglomeration area of Guangdong Province (Zhaoqing).
At the project site, it can be seen that the factory building has entered the stage of tackling the main structure, the office building is about to enter the decoration stage, and the ground works such as rainwater pipes and sewage pipes have been fully launched. The first phase will strive to be completed this summer.
New energy storage is an emerging industry that is a key focus of the national and provincial layout during the 15th Five Year Plan period. Liquid flow vanadium batteries have attracted much attention for their development prospects due to their advantages of long-term energy storage, high safety, and long lifespan. Zhaoqing has successfully won the hearts of investors with its superior business environment and factor advantages.
The project is constructed by Zhaoqing Vanadium Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and is located in the Fuxi area of the urban management starting zone in the large-scale industrial agglomeration area of Zhaoqing. The total planned investment for this project is 800 million yuan, of which the first phase of the project covers 60 acres of land and mainly produces complete sets of vanadium flow battery energy storage equipment.
