China's largest overseas investment in a single-unit electrochemical energy storage initiative has broken ground in Angren, Uzbekistan. The Rochi Energy Storage Project was announced by China Energy Construction Group, CGTN has reported.
Located on a six-hectare site, the storage infrastructure will be a first-of-its-kind in Uzbekistan. Using lithium iron phosphate batteries, it will boast a power configuration of 150 MW and a battery energy storage capacity of 300 MWh.
Slated for commercial operation by December 2024, the project is expected to contribute 2.19bn kWh of regulation capacity.
