Sichuan policies focus again, and the new track of vanadium batteries welcomes the "acceleration period" of development.

      Sichuan Province's support for the vanadium battery industry was not a one-time effort, but rather a comprehensive support system that built from the top down to the specific implementation through a series of closely connected policies. 

- In May 2024, six departments including the Provincial Economic and Information Commission jointly introduced the country's first provincial-level special policy for the vanadium battery industry - the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Vanadium Battery Energy Storage Industry". This plan further clarified the development goals of the industry: to be among the forefront of the country in terms of technical level and innovation capability by 2027, and quantitative indicators were proposed for the production capacity of key materials and components.

- In July 2025, the Provincial Government Office issued the "Implementation Plan for the Development and Expansion of Emerging Industries and the Accelerated Cultivation of Future Industries", which included all-vanadium flow batteries as a key focus in emerging industries, emphasizing technological innovation and commercial applications.

- In August 2025, the provincial government, in the "Several Opinions on Deeply Promoting the New Round of Major Mineral Resources Exploration and Breaking through the Strategic Action to Promote High-Quality Development of Mining Industry", once again emphasized the need to coordinate the guarantee of resource elements and promote the cluster and large-scale development of vanadium battery energy storage industry. 

      The release of the latest notice in 2026 is a reiteration and focus on the existing policy direction, indicating that the status of vanadium batteries as a "new industry track" has been institutionalized and normalized, and is bound to continue to receive resource bias and development momentum.

Interpretation: Why vanadium batteries? Sichuan's confidence and ambition

Focused layout: "one core, multiple poles" industrial geography map.

      The latest policy clarifies that Leshan, Panzhihua, Neijiang are key development areas:

- Panzhihua: Relying on the world's leading vanadium resources, it is positioned as a "resource   material" core base at front end of the industrial chain.

- Leshan: It has important chain main enterprises and has influence in fuel cell research and development, system integration and market application.

- Neijiang: The world's largest short-process vanadium electrolyte production line has been built, which is a key pole for the supply of materials.

      Meanwhile, the layout of Chengdu, Luzhou, Mianyang and other places in key materials and system integration has formed a development pattern of "asis on key points and overall coordination", which helps to enhance the overall resilience and competitiveness of the industrial development of the whole province.

Goal Prospect: to create a leading industrial base in China.

      According to the plan, by 2027, the vanadium battery industry in Sichuan will achieve:

- Capacity scale-up: Electrolyte capacity of 200,000 cubic meters/year, system integration capacity exceeding 1GWh/year.

- Leading enterprises: Cultivate and strengthen more than three leading enterprises with industry-leading roles.

- Industrial clustering: Build a leading vanadium battery industry base in China and form a vanadium titanium industry cluster with international influence.

      This series of goals not only points out the direction for the development of enterprises within the province, but also provides a clear expectation for technology, capital and talent to in this field.

      With continuous and systematic policy support, Sichuan Province is accelerating the transformation of "resource advantages" into "industrial advantages" and "development advantages" vanadium batteries. This "new track", which has been repeatedly emphasized and cultivated, is no longer just a single technology route choice, but also a strategic fulcrum for S to aim for the commanding heights of the future energy industry and promote the transformation of the industrial structure towards greening and high-end. With the favorable policy wind and the blueprint of industry already drawn, Sichuan's vanadium battery energy storage industry is entering the fast lane of development. 

Corporate Practice: Huasu Group, as a pioneer in the industry, practices the Sichuan strategy.

      In the blueprint of the new track of vanadium battery industry in Sichuan Province, Huashen Group is not a passive policy recipient, but a fore and practitioner of the industry. Its strategic layout and business development happen to provide vivid footnotes for the implementation of provincial policies, demonstrating the efficient synergy between "policy guidance" andmarket response". 

1. Technology R&D and Capacity Building: Solidify the foundation to meet the goals of scale;

     Hua Lu Group's investment in core technology directly echoes the policy's requirement for "technical level and innovation capability to be at the forefront of the country." The Group has not only established a 2,000-square-meter R&D and experimental center and owns dozens of national patents, but its developed all-vanadium flow battery has achieved key technological breakthroughs, including more than 72-hour long-time energy storage, a cycle life of more than 0,000 times, and a system efficiency of more than 85%. These indicators have established the market competitiveness of its products. At the same time, the Group's start of construction of the 0.5GW/2GWh energy storage system manufacturing project in Qitai County, Xinjiang, and the promotion of other capacity are concrete actions to achieve the goal of "significantly enhancing production capacity and realizing the scale development of the industry" set by Sichuan Province.

2. Full industry chain layout: deepen synergy and integrate into the Sichuan industrial ecosystem.

     Sichuan Province emphasizes the construction of a full-link industrial system from resource to integration. The practice of Hualu Group is highly integrated with this Its layout is not limited to system integration, but extends upstream, aiming to build "from core materials to system integration" localization capacity. In addition, the Group actively carries out "ustry-university-research" collaboration with local scientific research institutions such as Sichuan University of Light Industry and Technology, accelerating technology commercialization, which is deeply integrated into the ecological of Sichuan Province to promote industrial innovation relying on local scientific research resources. 

3. Regional and scene strategy: precise placement, serving core market demand.

     The group's regional strategy clearly reflects a grasp of policy priorities and market demands. In the Chongqing and Yunyang region, ween industrial cooperation, forming a linkage with local industries in Sichuan; in Xinjiang, we lay out production bases to directly serve the storage needs of the national large- wind and solar power bases. In terms of application scenarios, Hualu focuses on data centers, 5G base stations, and important industrial and commercial users, which have extremely requirements for security and long-term power supply, fully consistent with the technical characteristics of all-vanadium flow batteries and the development direction encouraged by policies.

4. Strategic positioning: resonate with the national and provincial energy strategy

     Hualu Group positions itself as a practitioner of the national "double carbon" strategy, and its development path is deeply integrated into the grand narrative of the's construction of a new power system. Sichuan Province has introduced a special policy for the vanadium battery industry, encouraging the layout of vanadium battery technology with higher safety mega-cities and central cities, which is highly consistent with Huasu's technology route and product characteristics, and its industrialization process happens to step on the double beat policy and market.
