In a recent announcement on September 16, HiTHIUM Energy Storage unveiled its next-generation sodium-ion energy storage integrated solution, the ∞Power N4.0MWh, with full supply chain mass production and delivery slated to commence in 2027. The new system boasts a PCS rated power utilization rate that is over 20% higher than its previous sodium-ion iteration. Through optimized system architecture, it reduces the required site footprint by 30% and achieves an all-weather comprehensive energy efficiency exceeding 88%. Crucially, it offers an ultra-long service life of 30 years, matching the longevity of traditional power equipment.

According to Dr. Wang Shimin, Dean of the HiTHIUM Energy Storage Battery Research Institute, the system is scheduled to begin large-scale production and delivery in 2027. The company's sodium-ion solutions are expected to extend beyond large-scale stations to commercial, industrial, and residential applications, aiming for comprehensive scenario coverage over time.

"A 30-year lifespan represents a long-term commitment we hope to deliver to our customers, validated through 10,950 days of rigorous testing," Dr. Wang stated. "This means electrochemical energy storage can, for the first time, be truly viewed through the lens of infrastructure. It allows us to calculate costs using infrastructure construction logic and demand a service life that meets infrastructure standards."

During the launch event, HiTHIUM Energy Storage also initiated the "∞Edge" Pioneer Action. Over the next three years, the company will test various battery and system technologies and configurations under multiple extreme environmental conditions, publicly disclosing progress along the way. It will also progressively release a range of ∞Power Next extreme-scenario technology packages. This initiative aims to solidify electrochemical storage as a more accessible and reliable energy infrastructure, pushing the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) into an era where it can reach as low as RMB 0.1 per kilowatt-hour.
