A state-backed consortium is constructing China’s first large-scale compressed air energy storage (CAES) project using a fully artificial underground cavern, marking a major step in the technology’s commercialization.
A compressed air energy storage (CAES) project in Hubei, China, has come online, with 300MW/1,500MWh of capacity. The 5-hour duration project, called Hubei Yingchang, was built in two years with a total investment of CNY1.95 billion (US$270 million) and uses abandoned salt mines in the Yingcheng area of Hubei, China’s sixth-most populous province.
Designated as a pilot project under China’s National Energy Administration’s new energy storage initiative, the Xinyang facility pioneers an innovative air-sealing approach for artificial underground storage, offering a significant boost to the commercialization of CAES technology in China.
Construction involves precision blasting, structural reinforcement, concrete lining, and a sealed steel layer to withstand an operating pressure of 14MPa. The project is led by China Energy Storage’s Henan subsidiary, which has previously developed multiple CAES facilities, including 100 MW, 150 MW, and 300 MW installations.
Once operational, the facility is expected to achieve a conversion efficiency of 72.1% and generate 420 million kWh annually—enough to power 350,000 households. The system incorporates China Energy Storage’s latest 300 MW CAES technology, featuring multi-stage compressors, high-load turbines, and advanced supercritical heat exchangers.
