02 New Product Launch: eBlock-261 Leads the New Trend of Smart Energy Storage
Back in 2019, JDEnergy took the lead in putting forward the "All In One" energy block energy storage concept, pioneering the new trend of distributed energy storage. Nevertheless, as energy storage technology evolves, hardware convergence has emerged across the whole industry. Against the backdrop of changing application scenarios, upgraded industrial standards and growing customer awareness, questions arise: how to fully unleash the functions of hardware products, and how to meet rising customer demands?
Zhang Yi, General Manager of the Product & R&D Center at JDEnergy, explained: The energy storage industry has transitioned from the era of hardware technology integration to the era of software-defined systems, which requires products to possess self-evolution capabilities. In terms of battery management, continuous expansion and evolution are needed to improve assessment accuracy and capacity utilization. In power regulation, the system can automatically adjust control modes, deliver outstanding voltage ride-through performance and optimize power quality through integrated multi-strategy solutions. For thermal management, exclusive thermal management strategies are automatically customized for every power station and each individual energy block. In charge and discharge control, fixed passive strategies are upgraded to dynamic active strategies.
After extensive development and refinement, JDEnergy officially launched eBlock-261, its first self-evolvable energy storage product compatible with electricity spot markets.

03 Break Free from Homogenized Competition with Innovation: The Brand-new Business Model "Energy Storage Treasure" Officially Released
Breaking free from homogenized competition relies on innovation in products, platforms and business models. Alongside the rapid growth of industrial and commercial energy storage, the traditional EMC revenue sharing model can hardly satisfy the interest demands of all participants, making industrial innovation an urgent priority. Targeting three major pain points for industrial and commercial enterprises building self-owned energy storage stations — heavy upfront capital pressure, insufficient technical capabilities and limited options for idle equipment exit — Lvdian Hechu under China Comfort (a subsidiary of State Power Investment Corporation), Fuhong Capital and JDEnergy, the leader in distributed energy storage, jointly launched Energy Storage Treasure, an all-in-one user-side energy storage solution for industrial and commercial clients in Zhejiang Province.
Sun Liang, General Manager of the Customer Success Department at Beijing Lvdian Hechu Energy Development Co., Ltd., stated in his speech: Supported by a financial solution featuring "zero upfront investment and low monthly payments", Energy Storage Treasure enables users to obtain ownership of the power station after five years. Users enjoy free quality guarantee and operation & maintenance services during the term, and hold the right to early buyout or project exit. It provides power operation services and fully meets the demands of industrial and commercial enterprises to build self-owned energy storage stations, comprehensively cutting the full-lifecycle power consumption costs of enterprises. Energy Storage Treasure not only helps enterprises build energy storage stations without upfront investment and worries, but also ensures unobstructed exit channels to further lower users’ investment risks.
Take an Energy Storage Treasure project in Zhejiang with a capacity of 230kW/460kWh as an example. Adopting a two-charge and two-discharge daily strategy, the project generates total returns exceeding RMB 900,000 over its 10-year full lifecycle. Compared with the EMC model with a 30% revenue share for enterprises, the client’s income increases directly by RMB 400,000. It is foreseeable that Energy Storage Treasure, this innovative financial model, will further boost the large-scale development of industrial and commercial energy storage.
As a leader in distributed energy storage, JDEnergy will take innovation as the driving force, evolve alongside customers, the industry and the times. It will leverage digitalization to drive product iteration, fuel market growth with new business models, illuminate the future of energy storage through evolutionary innovation, and join hands with more ecological partners to open a new chapter of green energy.
