Zigong Network "message shows that on January 23, the launching ceremony of Power Cell and Energy Storage Cell Zigong Base Project of Innovation Aviation Corporation of China (03931. HK) was held in Bancang Industrial Concentrated Area of Sichuan Zigong High-tech Zone. Although there is no information disclosure about the investment amount and capacity planning of Zigong base at present, Battery Net noticed that, on January 8 this year, Wang Xiaohui, Secretary of Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and Director of Standing Committee of Sichuan Provincial People's Congress, met Liu Jingyu, Chairman of China Innovation Aviation in Chengdu. During the meeting, the two sides, focusing on seizing major strategic opportunities such as the construction of Chengdu - Chongqing Shuangcheng Economic Circle, combined Sichuan's resource endowment and industrial foundation, gave full play to the professional advantages of Innovation Airlines in power battery, energy storage battery and other fields, further strengthened the investment layout in Sichuan, accelerated the promotion of projects under construction, actively promoted the in-depth cooperation in the fields of industrial chain building, scientific and technological innovation and achievement transformation, talent cultivation and recruitment, etc., helped Sichuan to continuously expand and strengthen the lithium battery industry, and better support the high-quality economic development. Seeing from the pace of production expansion of AVIC Innovation, in 2026, the action will be greatly accelerated: on January 4, the People's Government of Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province issued an announcement on the website, and the Phase II of Jiangmen Base Project of AVIC Innovation's Power Battery and Energy Storage System passed the EIA examination and approval, and the project is about to enter the construction stage. The project covers an area of about 420000 square meters, and plans to produce 35GWh power lithium batteries and energy storage products annually, mainly for the application of new energy vehicles and energy storage systems. On January 9, the People's Government of Jintan District, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province announced that it plans to approve the EIA documents for the new system solid electrolyte material and solid battery preparation capacity improvement project of China Innovation Aviation Technology Research Institute (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. The proposed investment of the project is 120 million yuan. After completion, the project can have the experimental capacity of all-solid electrolyte above tons and the pilot test capacity of solid battery of 0.2GWh. On January 10, the opening ceremony of the first batch of key projects in the high-tech zone of southeast Henan Province in 2026 was held at the project site of Innovation Aviation Xinyang Base. The total investment of Xinyang Base Project is RMB 9.63 billion, with planned land area of about 607 mu. The construction of 51GWh power and energy storage battery project is planned to be put into production in October this year, and reach full capacity in January 2028. On January 20, the Portuguese Economic, Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (AICEP) held an investment contract signing ceremony in Sinishi. Innovation Airlines formally signed a contract to build a lithium battery plant project, with a total investment of 2.067 billion euros, and received the incentive support of 350 million euros from the Portuguese government. It is expected to create about 1800 jobs. On January 22, "Release in Hubei" news showed that the Phase IV Project of Wuhan Base of AVIC Innovation focuses on the production of power battery PACK system, and 6 intelligent production lines are planned to be built, with the designed annual capacity of about 400000 sets. The project was started in July 2025, and now enters the critical stage of equipment moving and commissioning, and is expected to be formally put into production in 2026.
