From Steel to Storage: How Jingye New Energy Powers Its Own Steel Plants — and Yours

At Huaxi Special Steel, the company that makes the steel also built the power station that keeps the plant running. Both are Jingye. One group — steel on one side, energy storage on the other.

That is the simplest way to understand what makes Jingye New Energy different: we do not just sell batteries, we deploy, own and operate them inside our own group's heavy industry. If a storage system is trusted to run a steel mill, it can run your operation too.

One group, many industries

Jingye Group ranks #292 on the Fortune Global 500. Steel is the core business, but the group reaches much further — special steel, additive manufacturing (metal 3D printing), new energy and EV charging, plus pharmaceuticals, hospitality and tourism. Group steel is already exported to more than 130 countries and regions.

Jingye New Energy is the group's energy-storage arm. We build LFP energy storage cabinets, containerized BESS, CCS integrated busbars and commercial-vehicle batteries — all on a single, vertically integrated industrial chain, from raw material to finished system.

Huaxi Special Steel: the maker and the operator are the same company

Jingye New Energy designed, financed, built and now operates a 15MW/30.09MWh liquid-cooled energy storage station for Huaxi Special Steel.

• Configuration: 6 × 5.015MWh liquid-cooled containers + 6 × 2.5MW integrated PCS & MV skids + full EMS, 10kV grid connection
• Performance: ~90% system efficiency, two charge/discharge cycles per day
• Speed: broke ground 15 February 2025, reached trial operation by mid-April 2025

The economics

Total project investment is approximately 32.5 million yuan. Viewed two ways:

• If the steel plant self-invests: roughly 8 million yuan/year in savings, an estimated 3.9-year payback, and around a 26% IRR.
• Under Jingye's build-own-operate (BOO) model: Jingye funds and builds the station and takes an 85% revenue share — about 6.95 million yuan/year, an estimated 4.6-year payback, and roughly 69.5 million yuan over about 10 years and 6,600+ cycles.

In its first 15 days of grid-connected operation, the station generated over 300,000 yuan in profit.

In Jiangsu, the group built an even larger 50MW/100.32MWh station for another steel operation — same logic, bigger scale.

Why an in-house industrial chain matters for buyers

• Full chain, from raw material to finished system. Steel for storage projects is supplied inside the group, cutting cost and supply-chain complexity.
• Manufacturing scale. A 15GWh/year PACK integration line; 2.4 million CCS busbars/year; a self-developed 5MWh liquid-cooled storage system.
• Quality you can verify. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems; IATF 16949 automotive certification; products built to GB/T 36276, UN 38.3 and IEC/CE standards; a CNAS-accredited laboratory with 100+ testing instruments.

A full product line, not just a battery

• C&I energy storage cabinets: LFP-261kWh (built-in 125kW PCS, all-in-one) and LFP-417kWh (over 8,000 cycles, IP55)
• 5.015MWh liquid-cooled container BESS: standard 20-ft container, up to 2.5MW charge/discharge, multi-level fire protection
• Also: commercial DC fast chargers (40–240kW), CCS integrated busbars, and the JY530 commercial-vehicle battery
• Flexible commercial models: equipment supply, EPC turnkey, or investment + revenue share (BOO)

From one steel plant to the world

In August 2026, Jingye New Energy hosted a delegation from Ghana, Burkina Faso, Togo and Francophone Africa to discuss solar-plus-storage and BOO/PPP cooperation. With group steel already in 130+ countries, our energy-storage capability is going global — from products to fully financed projects.
