03 Load Reduction: Exploring Pathways to Energy Efficiency Improvement
Taking China as an example, parks represent a massive economic scale with high industrial concentration, making them a critical battleground for achieving the "Dual-Carbon" goals.
Efforts toward decarbonization at the park level have undergone a systematic evolution, shifting from eco-parks to the pursuit of zero-carbon targets. In terms of standard system development, by November 2025, China had already released four local standards and nearly 30 group standards related to zero-carbon parks, with national-level standards also being accelerated. The standard framework for zero-carbon parks has taken initial shape, marking a systematic progression from eco-parks to zero-carbon objectives in decarbonization efforts.
Guided by the principle of "Whole-process Energy Efficiency" and integrating dimensions such as site-specific adaptation, energy policies, and green energy supplementation, CHINT manages the entire lifecycle of integrated energy systems. This includes planning and design, construction and operation, heating/cooling supply along with thermal and cold storage coordination, the establishment of energy efficiency control systems, as well as terminal environment and smart building controls. These efforts ensure the system operates in a low-carbon, efficient, and intelligent manner throughout its full lifecycle, creating safer, more stable, convenient, comfortable, and energy-efficient working and living environments for end-users.
For high-energy-consumption users and existing market clients with urgent demands for energy efficiency improvement, CHINT conducts in-depth analysis of their actual energy consumption patterns, operational needs, equipment conditions, and energy management status. Through customized solutions, the company incorporates AI-based intelligent control strategies for central air conditioning systems, enabling smart management that achieves energy conservation, carbon reduction, cost efficiency, and enhanced performance in heating and cooling source systems.
Through a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) business model, CHINT fully invests in, designs, builds, and operates integrated smart energy stations centered on renewable-powered heating and cooling (Combining Solar PV, Energy Storage, and EV Charging). Clients gain access to low-carbon, intelligent, and high-performance thermal services without any upfront capital investment. At the end of the agreed cooperation period, the entire high-efficiency facility is transferred to the client at no cost. Meanwhile, CHINT generates returns through its core operational capabilities—creating shared value among CHINT, clients, and end users. This "Technology-enabled, Value-sharing" model empowers partners to advance toward smart energy, green decarbonization, and operational excellence, while achieving tangible cost savings and efficiency gains—partnering with more stakeholders on a new journey toward high-quality development.

04 New Storage: Breakthroughs in Cutting-edge Energy Technologies
Wind and photovoltaic power generation exhibit significant intermittency and volatility, posing challenges to the stable operation of power systems when integrated on a large scale. The core of the "New Storage" pathway lies in effectively addressing the dependency of energy supply on weather conditions. By enabling temporal shifting and spatial redistribution of electrical energy, it enhances the flexibility and controllability of the system.
At the application level, energy storage systems can deliver multiple values: Facilitating the integration of renewable energy by smoothing power generation output, participating in grid peak regulation, and reducing wind and solar curtailment; Empowering demand-side management through peak-valley price arbitrage, demand regulation, and deferred distribution capacity expansion; Enhancing generation-side efficiency by optimizing AVC/AGC regulation performance and reducing equipment failure rates; Supporting microgrid operation by serving as a backup power source, promoting self-consumption of photovoltaic power, and improving power supply reliability.
