Distributed Energy – The Polar Star Power News Network provides you with the latest developments in distributed energy, helping you to quickly understand the current trends in this field. For more information on distributed energy, please follow the Polar Star Power News Network.
As of March 24, 2025, Yicheng New Energy reported a net profit loss of 851 million yuan for the fiscal year 2024. The company’s subsidiary, Kaifeng Times, specializes in the production of all-vanadium flow batteries and the development, construction, and operation of all-vanadium flow power stations. Their products are widely used in renewable energy grid connection, peak shaving and frequency modulation for power grids, and distributed energy storage, effectively addressing the intermittency and volatility of new energy generation while enhancing the stability and reliability of power systems.
In Jiangsu’s Ganyu District, there are currently 33,600 distributed photovoltaic users, ranking second in the province. Most distributed photovoltaic installations are concentrated in rural areas with weaker economic foundations and electricity grids. The development characteristic of “more in the west and less in the east” is inversely related to electricity grid resource allocation.
The Ganyu District is one of the pilot areas for the National Energy Administration’s county-wide rooftop distributed photovoltaic initiatives. With lower elevation, good atmospheric transparency, and an average of over 2,300 hours of sunshine per year, this area has abundant solar resources. Additionally, the concentrated layout of rural housing, with sloping roofs making up 60% and flat roofs 30%, further supports distributed photovoltaic development.
Leading companies like China Resources Power, Changxia Power, and Zhejiang New Energy are actively recruiting across various positions. Their main business includes electricity sales, investment, construction, and operation of distribution networks, distributed energy, and microgrids, as well as user-side energy efficiency management services. The EDRI team specializes in photovoltaic power generation and electrical engineering design, focusing on research, consulting, and project contracting related to new energy systems.
In February 2025, Haier launched the world’s first integrated AI-based energy management solution, promoting digital control, market transactions, and diversified integration in distributed energy. The company also established Rirun New Energy and acquired a controlling stake in Nahui Energy, significantly expanding its distributed photovoltaic service network across 15 provinces and over 500 counties in China.
The rapid changes in the industry and the acceleration of market-oriented reforms in the electricity sector have made refined energy management a necessity. The COSMOS 2.0 by Hongzheng Energy features five core capabilities: grid interaction, cross-asset adaptability, comprehensive coverage, precise scheduling control, and large-scale algorithm support, addressing the pain points of distributed energy.
Sichuan Province is enhancing the safety management of new energy and new grid-connected entities, proposing that virtual power plant management platforms and communication equipment for distributed energy resources be included in safety management protocols.
With the continuous development of distributed energy systems, companies are urged to innovate and drive market-oriented reforms. This includes areas such as energy planning in industrial parks, where a focus on “green electricity direct supply” and the promotion of distributed energy systems are key objectives.
The integration of microgrid storage systems with distributed energy is essential for ensuring self-sufficiency in energy for factories and parks. As demand for battery prefabricated cabins grows, the industry is predicted to expand significantly, driven by advancements in technology and cost reductions.
As of March 10, 2025, the Apex Clean Energy company has been operational since 2009, focusing on wind power acquisition and gradually expanding into solar, storage systems, and large-scale distributed energy projects. Their current clean energy generation capacity is claimed to reach 2 GW.
The future of distributed energy is bright, with ongoing innovations, supportive policies, and an increasing focus on sustainability paving the way for significant advancements in this sector.
