Gotie has signed agreements with Datang New Energy and Hebei Linhai Technology Group to jointly develop three energy storage stations with a total capacity of 1 GWh, to be connected to the electricity grid by the end of this year. The deal with Datang New Energy includes a 200 MWh storage station on the user side, while the partnership with Hebei Linhai includes two separate storage stations, each with a capacity of 100 MW/400 MWh. Gotion will operate its 314 Ah storage cells in liquid-cooled containers, each containing 160 lithium iron phosphate batteries, and each system will have a capacity of more than 5 MWh.
Standard Chartered Bank has closed on a six-year, $235 million senior secured green loan facility to support the development and operation of a PV plant in Wilmer, Texas.
