As spring deepens and all things flourish, at this critical juncture of energy transition led by the "dual carbon" goals, Hualu Groupan important strategic partner.
Recently, Hualu Group and Dali Energy Storage Technology Hubei Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dali Energy Storage") officlly signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Xiangyang, Hubei. Both parties will carry out comprehensive cooperation regarding the R&D, equipment manufacturing, electrolyte supply, and market applicion of all-vanadium redox flow batteries, jointly dedicated to providing safer and longer-lasting energy storage solutions for the new power system.
Dual Stars Shine: When "New Force of Southern Sichuan" Meets "Chain Leader of Western Hubei"
This signing is not merely a commercial handshake between the two enterprises, but also a fusion of two profound vanadium battery technology lineages.
As an active practitioner of China's "dual carbon" strategy, Hualu Group has achieved rapid development despite its relatively short history. Leveraging the techngy system of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Group has secured over a hundred core patents and established a full industrial chain covering photovoltaic-storage EPC, vanadium redox flow battery mnufacturing, and green electricity technology R&D. Just this January, the groundbreaking ceremony for the vanadium redox flow battery verification and testing platform within the Hualu Group campeld, marking a critical step forward in the industrial verification of our technology.
Our partner, Dali Energy Storage, having been deeply rooted in the vanadium battery industry for eighteen years, has fully mastered the core technologies across the en, including stack, power control, and electrolyte. It is not only one of the few domestic enterprises capable of automated production of hundred-megawatt-level stacks but has also eablished a GWh-level electrolyte production base in Xiangyang. In 2025, Dali Energy Storage successfully overcame the technical challenges of the new geeration 500kW high-power module, demonstrating strong technical breakthrough capabilities.
Strategic Synergy: From Technological Complementarity to Industrial Resonance
According to the agreement, both parties will conduct in-depth cooperation in three core areas based on the principles of "complementary strengths and mutu
Collaborative R&D to jointly tackle cost reduction challenges
Currently, the initial investment cost remains a significant factor constraining the large-scale commercialization of vanadium batteries. Hualu Group possesses advanced verification testing ps and system integration capabilities, while Dali Energy has accumulated deep expertise in stack and electrolyte material science. Both parties will share R&D data and collaborate on joint efforts targeting high-power-dey stacks and low-cost electrolytes, aiming to significantly reduce system costs within the next 2-3 years and enhance the market competitiveness of all-vanadium redox flo
Complementary industrial resources, integrating the supply and demand chain
Hualu Group possesses a substantial pipeline of user-side energy storage and new energy projects in Sichuan and the Southwest region, while Dali Energy Storage owns advanic automated production lines and a mature supply chain system in Xiangyang, Hubei. Following this signing, both parties will establish a close supply-demand linkage mechanism. Dali EnStorage will serve as a key strategic supplier for Hualu Group, ensuring the supply of core capacities for fuel cell stacks and electrolytes; meanwhile, Hualu Group's verification testing platform rovide pilot-scale validation services for Dali Energy Storage's new products, accelerating the commercialization of its technological achievements.
Anchoring the Future: Building the "Hualu-Dali Solution" for Long-Duration Energy Storage
It is well known in the industry that with the continuous increase in the penetration rate of renewable energy, the demand for long-duration energy storage exceeding 4 hours is becoming ingly urgent. Vanadium redox flow batteries are entering a strategic opportunity period due to their unique advantages of intrinsic safety, a cycle life exceeding 20,000, and recyclable electrolytes.
This collaboration with Dali Energy Storage marks another significant move in Hualu Group's industrial chain ecosystem layout, following its industry-academia-research cooperon with Sichuan University of Science and Engineering and Sichuan Chemical Technology College. It not only fills the gap in deep support for our upstream core manufacturing but also endos the "Hualu Series" energy storage solutions with greater resilience and confidence.
As a relevant person in charge of Hualu Group stated: "Dali Energy Storage is a 'long-distance runner' in the vanadium batterd, and their craftsmanship and depth of the industrial chain are admirable. Hualu possesses flexible innovation mechanisms and a deep understanding of the Southwest market. This merger is not aimple '1 1', but aims to generate industry-leading 'nuclear fusion' through the deep integration of technology and industry."
Standing in the spring of 2026, from Luzhou in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the ancient city of gyang on the Han River, a green bond forged by vanadium flow batteries tightly connects the two regions. In the future, Hualu Group will continue to uphold the philosophy of openness andcooperation, walking hand in hand with more outstanding partners like Dali Energy Storage. With safe and efficient energy storage equipment, we will light up thousands of homes, support green industry, anribute solid strength to the construction of the country's new power system.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Naxi District, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, Sichuan Hualu Optoelectics Group Co., Ltd. is a practitioner of China's "Dual Carbon" strategy and a leading enterprise in the new energy sector. With a core strategy of "Smart Manufacturing of ovoltaic and Energy Storage Energy Services" as dual drivers, the company has established a full industrial chain covering PV and energy storage EPC, vanadium redox flow battery manufacturin electricity technology R&D. The group holds over a hundred core patents and international authoritative certifications (CE/CB/FCC/ROHS, etc.).
The company collaborates with research teams from multiple universities and scientific research institutes to jointly establish a vanadium battery energy storage research laboratory. By overcoming technical barers in all-vanadium redox flow battery technology, it has achieved breakthroughs in ultra-long duration energy storage exceeding 12 hours, a cycle life o over 20,000 cycles, and a system efficiency of over 80%, thereby filling the gap in intelligent manufacturing within the industry. As a core member of the ecosystem of state-owned energy rprises, the Group engages in deep cooperation with leading industry enterprises, serving large-scale projects for central state-owned enterprises. It builds an "equipment platform service" wind-solar-storage erconnection ecosystem, providing strong technical support for the country's construction of a new power system.
By 2026, the company plans to complete the construction of the Southern Sichuan New Energy Equipment Manufacturing Base to further drive the restructuring of the global energy system. Les advantages in technological innovation and full industrial chain layout, Hualu Group has become one of the most dynamic new energy technology groups in Western China, injecting strong momentum into the global energansition and contributing to the realization of the "dual carbon" goals.
