CATL Partners with Yancheng to Build China's First High-Proportion Green-Power Lithium Battery Smart Manufacturing Base

On February 14, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) signed an investment agreement with the People's Government of Binhai County, Yancheng City, to jointly build a green intelligent manufacturing base for lithium-ion batteries dedicated to next-generation power systems. The project will establish China’s first grid-connected “direct green power connection” system featuring a high proportion of renewable energy usage and will serve as a demonstration base for export products meeting the dual standards of “Zero-Carbon Factory” and “Lighthouse Factory.” This collaboration stems from a strategic agreement signed in September 2025 between the Yancheng municipal government and CATL, aimed at advancing zero-carbon city development and building an integrated ecosystem of “direct green power connection + zero-carbon industrial ecosystem.” Both parties will also co-develop a national-level zero-carbon industrial park to promote coordinated development across the upstream and downstream supply chains, establishing a full-lifecycle zero-carbon industrial ecosystem. Additionally, CATL recently signed another agreement with Quanzhou City in Fujian Province to develop another intelligent, zero-carbon battery production base.
