According to a report from “Linghe Release,” on the morning of March 21, Linghe District in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, held a ceremony to mark the commencement of construction on key projects for the first quarter of 2025, as well as the start of operations for the first phase of an industrial facility designed to produce 2,000 tons per year of sodium-ion battery cathode materials, along with 0.5 GWh worth of sodium-ion batteries and energy storage systems. According to available information, the Ennage project is funded by Beijing Ennage Technology Co., Ltd., a pioneer in the new energy sector. The Enengji project, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of sodium-ion battery cathode materials as well as 2 GWh of sodium-ion batteries and energy storage systems, serves as a key strategic pillar for fostering new forms of productivity in Linghe. As a leader in the technology for producing cathode materials based on sodium-ion polyanion systems, it has opened up a new chapter in the development of the electronics industry in Linghe. The total investment for the project is 4.5 billion yuan, with construction carried out in four phases. The first phase requires an investment of 150 million yuan, and it is planned to complete the production lines for 2,000 tons of cathode materials, 0.5 GWh of sodium-ion batteries, and energy storage systems by June 2025 ; An investment of 300 million yuan is planned for the second phase, with completion targeted for 2026 to achieve a production capacity of 10,000 tons along with a research and development hub ; With an investment of 1.5 billion yuan in the third phase, a smart factory complex with a capacity of 90,000 tons is set to be completed by 2027 ; The fourth phase of investment amounts to 2.55 billion yuan, with plans to build production lines for 200,000 tons of sodium-ion battery cathode materials and 1.5 GWh of energy storage systems by 2028. Upon completion of the entire project, it is expected to generate an annual output value of 20 billion yuan and tax revenues of 800 million yuan.
