High levels of product safety and durability were key factors in the choice of Hithium as the core supplier for the battery project.

Hithium general manager and co-founder Jason Wang stated: “Projects like this are exactly why we built Hithium’s technology and culture around customer-centricity. CSG and the province needed this project delivered quickly, safely and with a very high quality of product.

“So we set up a special service team to coordinate the entire process, from manufacturing and shipping the batteries to ensuring timely project development and the professionalism of the process.”

In June 2023, the company formed a partnership with Powin, a US energy storage company, for the supply of energy storage products.

Hithium agreed to supply 1.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery capacity with a potential for an additional 3.5GWh.
