May 30, 2025 – CALB (China Aviation Lithium Battery), a leading global lithium battery innovator, has been selected to supply high-performance energy storage cells for the Aurora Project – Chile’s transformative solar-plus-storage initiative in Tarapacá. Announced on May 24, this partnership marks a significant milestone in Latin America’s renewable energy transition.
Project Impact & Scale
The Aurora facility is poised to deliver 600GWh of renewable electricity annually – enough to power 200,000 Chilean households. As one of Latin America’s largest integrated solar and storage developments, it represents a cornerstone of Chile’s national energy transformation strategy.
Technology Breakthroughs
CALB leverages its proprietary Everlasting™ battery technology to deliver critical advancements:
- Ultra-long cycle life with superior energy efficiency
- Enhanced safety and reliability under extreme conditions
- Intelligent thermal management and multi-dimensional safety architecture
These innovations ensure optimal performance in Chile’s demanding high-altitude environment while meeting rigorous capacity requirements for grid-scale storage.
Evolution of Everlasting™ Product Line
Building on its August 2023 Global Ecosystem Conference announcements, CALB confirmed phased deployment of next-generation solutions:
- 6.25MWh containerized systems (20-foot standard): 25% more capacity than legacy 5MWh units, reducing system costs by 18%
- 6.8MWh DC-side containers (2,000V platform compatibility)
- New cell formats: 392Ah cells (for 6.25MWh systems) and 625Ah+ cells (for 6.8MWh systems)
Future Roadmap
The upcoming 625Ah+ cells (energy density >440Wh/L) will enable:
▶ 6.8MWh capacity within standard 20-foot containers
▶ >10% further cost reduction beyond 6.25MWh systems
▶ 2000V system voltage boosting efficiency by 0.5%
▶ 8% lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE)
▶ Significantly enhanced ROI throughout project lifecycles
“This project demonstrates how CALB’s cutting-edge storage solutions enable reliable clean energy at utility scale,” stated a company representative. “Our Everlasting™ platform delivers the performance durability required to accelerate global decarbonization.”
