CEEC Energy Storage Project: Illuminating a New Milestone for Green Energy under the Belt and Road Initiative

Operational Impact‌

Strategic Value
   Upon completion in December 2024, the project will add 2.19 billion kWh of adjustable electricity to Uzbekistan’s grid, enhancing its resilience and enabling higher renewable energy penetration. The construction phase has already generated over 300 local jobs, injecting vitality into regional economies.

Sustainable Future
   By stabilizing the grid and integrating renewables, CEEC’s Energy Storage System paves the way for Uzbekistan’s low-carbon transition, aligning with global climate goals and setting a replicable model for Belt and Road energy partnerships.

Project Context

   As a key player in the Belt and Road Initiative, CEEC has been actively promoting international energy cooperation. In March 2024, CEEC secured the 150MW/300MWh energy storage project in Andijan, Uzbekistan, which stands as the largest electrochemical energy storage facility invested by China overseas. With a total investment of $140 million, this project not only addresses Uzbekistan’s grid stability challenges but also signifies CEEC’s pioneering entry into overseas energy storage investments.

  As a Central Asian energy hub, Uzbekistan has faced challenges in recent years, including insufficient grid regulation capacity and significant pressure to integrate renewable energy sources. Leveraging its global expertise in energy infrastructure, CEEC has precisely addressed local needs by adopting energy storage technology as a key solution, supporting the country in developing a more stable, secure, and efficient power system. The simultaneous launch of the 150MWh Oz energy storage project in the Fergana region further highlights CEEC’s strategic footprint in the Central Asian market.

Engineering Solution

1. Technological Breakthrough in Electrochemical Energy Storage System (ESS)

   CEEC’s ESS for the Andijan project adopts ​lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery cells with modular cluster design, each cluster providing 3.35MWh and a total capacity of 300MWh. The technology features high energy density (≥160Wh/kg), long cycle life (≥6,000 cycles @80% depth of discharge), and millisecond-level response, addressing Uzbekistan’s urgent needs for frequency regulation, peak shaving, and renewable energy integration.

   The ESS is equipped with ​liquid cooling thermal management, maintaining battery temperature within ±2°C through intelligent control. This ensures stable operation in Central Asia’s extreme temperatures (-30°C to 50°C), with overall system efficiency (AC-AC) exceeding 88%.

2. Integrated Grid-Side Engineering: End-to-End Infrastructure

  • Booster Station & Transmission Network: The 220kV booster station utilizes GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) technology, reducing footprint by 40% with 99.99% reliability. The 6.1km double-circuit transmission line employs high-strength aluminum alloy conductors, minimizing line losses to below 2.5%.
  • Smart EMS (Energy Management System): Powered by AI algorithms, the system predicts grid load and renewable generation in real time, optimizing ESS charging/discharging strategies to reduce renewable curtailment by 15%-20%.

3. Innovation in EPC Lifecycle Management

  • Localized Collaboration: CEEC partnered with Uzbekistan’s National Electric Grid (NEGU) and local suppliers, achieving over 30% localized procurement to streamline logistics and reduce carbon footprint.
  • Digitalized Construction: BIM (Building Information Modeling) and drone-based monitoring ensured precision in civil works and equipment installation across the 6-hectare site, cutting project timelines by 20%.
  • Safety & Sustainability: The project meets UL9540A safety standards, integrates multi-level fire suppression systems (pack, container, and station levels), and uses recyclable battery materials, targeting a total lifecycle carbon reduction of 120,000 tons.
