Securing the development of new tracks and new industries is key for Shanghai Electric, both now and during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, in advancing industrial restructuring and accelerating the transition from old to new growth drivers. On the morning of July 7, Leng Weiqing, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shanghai Electric Group, conducted a field visit to ANWHA (Shanghai) Automation Engineering Co., Ltd.* That afternoon, he joined Liu Ping, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President, at a special working meeting with Shenzhen Yinghe Technology Co., Ltd., where they discussed and mapped out the development strategies for these two Shanghai Electric subsidiaries that are part of the company’s new energy battery industry chain.

Leveraging its comprehensive strengths in the energy and industrial equipment sectors, Shanghai Electric is pursuing a vertically integrated strategic layout centered on the new‑energy market, continuously enhancing its competitive edge. Specifically in the energy‑storage battery industry, it has established an initial ecosystem of lithium‑battery equipment that is both synergistic and independently superior—spanning lithium‑ion energy‑storage products for end‑use applications and lithium‑ion production‑line equipment for industrial markets.

From the perspective of lithium‑battery automation production‑line equipment, Shanghai Electric has fully leveraged the technological strengths of its subsidiaries, such as Yinghe Technology, ANWHA Automation*, and Shanghai FANUC Robotics*, becoming one of the few providers in the industry capable of offering globally leading end‑to‑end smart‑factory solutions for lithium batteries. It can deliver comprehensive, full‑process production lines—covering planning and design, process implementation, power assistance, and environmental control—to meet customers’ needs for automated, intelligent, and information‑driven manufacturing.

In the field of lithium‑ion energy storage applications, Shanghai Electric completed a smart factory in Nantong, Jiangsu, at the end of September 2020, with an annual production capacity of 5 GWh, establishing itself as a large‑scale lithium‑battery energy storage system manufacturing base integrating R&D, testing, and production. Expanding into product deployment, the company has delivered several landmark projects, including China’s first grid‑side shared energy storage project in Golmud, Qinghai (32 MW/64 MWh), a photovoltaic‑storage power‑side project in Tibet (12.5 MW/20 MWh), and a thermal‑storage frequency‑regulation project in Yangxi, Guangdong (26 MW/13 MWh), thereby achieving full coverage across source‑grid‑load application scenarios.

Leng Weiqing pointed out that both lithium‑ion battery and hydrogen fuel cell equipment manufacturing are industries strongly encouraged by the state and attract substantial capital, with enormous future market potential. To stay ahead of the curve, seize opportunities, align with prevailing trends, and build on momentum, companies must accelerate the refinement of their core products and technologies, enhance internal management capabilities, ensure the effective implementation of their strategies, and sustain high‑quality development. It is also crucial to maintain close ties with key, high‑value customers. Furthermore, enterprises should strengthen collaboration, work together to deliver premium products and solutions, and create value for their clients. Shanghai Electric will continue to serve as the strongest support for corporate growth, leveraging its robust resources in market access, finance, brand reputation, and internal management to empower businesses.

Dong Jianhua, Member of the Party Committee and Executive Vice President of Shanghai Electric; Yang Hong, Vice President; Zhou Zhiyan, Secretary of the Board and Chief Financial Officer; along with heads of relevant functional departments and senior leaders of Shanghai Electric Automation Group, attended the fact-finding mission and the special meeting.
