A bold leap toward a reliable, green future: HiTHIUM unveils three trailblazing innovations at its third Eco-Day, signaling a new era for long-duration energy storage (LDES) and AI-enabled power infrastructure.
But here’s where it gets controversial: turning green power into a consistently available resource demands more than better batteries—it requires robust, interoperable systems that can weather every forecast. HiTHIUM’s Eco-Day, held on December 12 under the theme “The Awakening of Energy - The New World,” gathered LDES experts, AI data center (AIDC) leaders, and partners from across the energy ecosystem to spotlight three major breakthroughs and chart a path toward all-weather green power.
Key announcements included:
- ∞Power86.9MW/55.2MWh eight-hour native solution, designed to smooth renewable output across multiple hours and stabilize power delivery in diverse conditions.
- ∞Cell 1300Ah dedicated eight-hour cell, a high-capacity unit engineered for deep eight-hour cycling, an expected service life of 20+ years, enhanced safety, and a notably lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE).
- ∞Power Solutions for AI Data Center, the industry’s first lithium–sodium full-duration package that blends long-duration lithium storage with rapid sodium-ion response to meet AIDC’s needs for long-term stability and instant power support.
LDES as a strategic enabler for all-weather green power
During opening remarks, HiTHIUM co-founder and CEO Jason Wang underscored that the shift from weather-dependent renewables to reliable, easy-to-use green power hinges on storage, especially LDES. To advance this vision, the company launched the All-Weather Green Power - 135 Lighthouse Plan. This five-year initiative emphasizes three action pillars—green intelligent computing, comprehensive storage deployment, and green power hubs—with a mission to extend LDES “lighthouse light” across industries and ensure green energy reaches everyone.
Industry voices and forward-looking insights
Global experts joined the discussion. Wood Mackenzie senior analyst Alex Cipolla shared perspectives on worldwide LDES trends, applications, and technology pathways, while Zhihua Liu from Eaton Power Shanghai outlined innovations in high-voltage DC and intelligent power distribution.
A glimpse of the future: LDES and AI infrastructure
The Eco-Day spotlighted three technologies that point toward a transformed LDES and AI-ready energy landscape:
- The eight-hour native ∞Power solution for multiple-hour smoothing and stable green power delivery.
- The ∞Cell 1300Ah, a high-capacity cell enabling long, eight-hour cycles with two decades of expected life and improved safety, lowering overall costs.
- The AI Data Center power package, a full-duration lithium–sodium system that delivers both long-term stability and millisecond-level response for instant power needs.
AIDC focus: decoding energy pathways and cooperative blueprints
In a roundtable led by Dr. Nazar Yi, HiTHIUM board member and vice president, telecom operators, data center operators, and industry associations debated whether LDES is the missing piece for zero-carbon AIDCs. Participants highlighted rising compute demand against tight energy supply, with lithium-based LDES appearing as a key path to improved stability, reduced costs, and scalable growth. The event also saw the joint release of the 2025 China AIDC Energy Storage Bluebook by HiTHIUM and leading industry bodies, detailing energy consumption trends, evolving BBU requirements, and deployment strategies for LDES within AIDCs.
Accelerating AI–energy integration and building an open LDES ecosystem
In closing, HiTHIUM founder and president Jeff Wu emphasized that storage must match wind and solar not only in lifespan but also in cost. The company outlined four priorities: developing ultra-large, high-safety, long-life cells; creating safer, more integrated and efficient systems; advancing intelligent manufacturing; and delivering fully integrated energy storage solutions.
As HiTHIUM’s flagship annual event, Eco-Day underscores the company’s rapid ascent to a top-tier position in global energy storage battery shipments. Looking ahead, HiTHIUM plans to broaden its technology portfolio, deepen partner networks, and contribute to global clean energy progress while shaping the energy-storage landscape for the AI era.
