Decoding the construction of new energy industry in Guizhou: promoting industrial upgrading and improving business environment
Cctv news(Reporter Han Fei): From October 23 to 28, the theme interview activity of "High-quality Development Research Bank" was held in Guizhou.
Guofa [2022] No.2 document stands in the national development pattern and clearly supports Guizhou to build six industrial bases, including new energy power batteries and materials research and development production bases. From October 23rd to 24th, the "High-quality Development Investigation Bank" went to Kaiyang County, Guiyang City, Fuquan City and Weng ‘an County, Qiannan Prefecture, to investigate the development of new industrialization.
Take the initiative to seize the development opportunity of new energy industry and promote industrial transformation and upgrading
Anda Science and Technology Energy Co., Ltd., located in Kaiyang County, Guiyang City, was a traditional phosphorus chemical enterprise when it was established in 1996. It mainly relied on the abundant local phosphorus resources, but its production energy consumption was high, pollution was high and the added value of products was low. With the arrival of the new energy industry outlet, the company took the initiative to seek a breakthrough in transformation, and began to focus on the research and development of cathode materials in Ferrous lithium phosphate in 2009. In 2011, Anda’s battery-grade iron phosphate was industrialized, and Anda became the main national supplier of cathode material precursors for BYD lithium batteries.
Anda Company attaches great importance to the investment in production and research, and promotes the continuous "hematopoietic" ability of enterprises through research and development. In recent years, Anda has introduced talents from top domestic scientific research institutions such as Peking University and Tsinghua, and invested more than 100 million yuan in R&D every year. At present, the company has obtained 66 patents, and has become an innovative enterprise integrating the research, development, production and sales of cathode materials for new energy lithium-ion batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries and battery systems. In 2021, Anda Technology was awarded the title of "Specializing in Special New’ Little Giant’ Enterprise". In March 2023, Anda Technology became the first enterprise in Guizhou to land on the North Exchange. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, Anda’s new energy battery materials are expected to achieve an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of Ferrous lithium phosphate and 500,000 tons of iron phosphate, with an estimated total output value of 52 billion yuan.
Despite many achievements, Liu Jianbo, chairman of Anda Technology, said in an interview that enterprises are still facing fierce external competition. Only by continuing to improve quality, reduce costs and increase efficiency and insisting on high-quality development can enterprises continue to maintain their development advantages.

"Project is king" to accelerate the construction of 100 billion-level industrial parks
In recent years, Fuquan City, Qiannan Prefecture insists on taking new industrialization as the first traction, highlighting the party’s organizational advantages in the effectiveness of industrial development and the speed of project construction, creating a 100 billion-level industrial park with vertical chains and horizontal groups, and running out of the acceleration of high-quality development of new industrialization.
Hunan Yuneng Company is a major supplier of cathode materials for lithium ion batteries in China. Fuquan City "grabs the speed" to introduce large projects and land large projects. In 2021, Fuquan City attracted Hunan Yuneng to build a new production base and set up Guizhou Yuneng. The Ferrous lithium phosphate production line project with an annual output of 150,000 tons in Guizhou Yuneng Phase I took only six months from leveling to commissioning, setting a record for the construction speed of major projects in Fuquan City. By the end of August, 2023, the second phase of Yuneng, with an annual output of 200,000 tons of iron phosphate and its supporting phosphorus chemical projects, and eight precursor production lines in Ferrous lithium phosphate have all been put into trial operation. The third phase of the project with an annual output of 150,000 tons of Ferrous lithium phosphate and 100,000 tons of iron phosphate is undergoing equipment installation and debugging.
Landing quickly and achieving good results. In 2022, Yuneng New Energy Project achieved an output value of 7.04 billion yuan, accounting for 19.8% of the total industrial output value of Fuquan City in that year. In other words, for every industrial output value of 5 yuan in Fuquan, 1 yuan comes from Yuneng, Guizhou.

Shenzhen Shengtun Group Laifuquan Factory is also one of the big projects introduced by Fuquan City in recent years. Guizhou Shengtun new energy project has an investment of 6.19 billion yuan and a planned land area of more than 1,200 mu, which will be built in two phases.
The first phase of the project with an annual output of 150,000 tons of battery-grade nickel sulfate, 20,000 tons of high-grade nickel matte and comprehensive recovery of gold, silver, platinum and palladium was put into production in August 2023. With the support of Fuquan City, the project construction period has been shortened by more than 50%. The second phase of the project includes a new energy material production line with an annual output of 300,000 tons of battery-grade iron phosphate, 150,000 tons of battery-grade nickel sulfate and 10,000 tons of metal-grade battery-grade cobalt products, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. After the completion of the two projects, it is estimated that the annual output value will be more than 20 billion yuan, which will drive more than 2,000 jobs.
In 2023, based on the advantages of industrial cluster development, Fuquan introduced Xiamen Xiamen Xiamen Tungsten New Energy Materials Co., Ltd. around Shengtun Phase II Project, and jointly established Fuquan Xiamen Tungsten 100,000 tons of Ni-Co-Mn ternary precursor project with Shengtun.
High quality promotes the rapid landing of the project and lays a solid foundation for the enterprise cluster to take root in Fuquan and long-term development.

High-quality service makes enterprises willing to stay.
Guizhou Yayou New Materials Co., Ltd. is the first major project of new battery materials introduced from Weng ‘an County, Qiannan Prefecture, and its capital injection enterprise is Hunan Yacheng New Energy Co., Ltd. Guizhou Yayou Phase I project with an annual output of 100,000 tons of iron phosphate with an investment of 1.2 billion yuan was completed and put into operation at the end of 2022, and the cumulative output value in the first three quarters of 2023 was 280 million yuan. The second phase plans to invest 4.6 billion yuan, covering an area of 1,300 mu, mainly building a 200,000-ton iron phosphate production line, etc. It is planned to be completed and put into operation in the second half of 2025. In the future, the production capacity of Yayou in Guizhou will be four times that of the headquarters base.
Under the double blessing of the advantages of resources and industrial clusters, Weng ‘an County has taken the initiative to provide good services and effectively reduce the burden on enterprises. Because the phosphate rock resources declared by Yayou Company in the early stage can not meet the allocation conditions in a short time, it affects the production cost and market competitiveness of the enterprise in the later stage. At the same time when the enterprise declares new phosphate resources, Weng ‘an County has sold the output of 5% equity of the county platform company in Weng ‘an Phosphating Company to Yayou Company at the mining price in exchange for raw materials such as battery-grade ammonium hydrogen phosphate and industrial-grade phosphoric acid. This measure has solved the urgent need for enterprises to produce and use mines, and reduced the cost for enterprises. In addition, Weng ‘an County also gives corresponding support to enterprises in terms of electricity, water and gas security, and solves the difficulties of enterprises one by one in time, so that enterprises can develop more safely in Weng ‘an.

Guizhou is making efforts to optimize the industrial layout and build a development pattern of "one core and two regions". As a "one core", Guiyang Gui ‘an and Kaiyang Xifeng and Weng ‘an Fuquan are taking the phosphorus chemical industry base as the core, cultivating and building new energy batteries and supporting industrial clusters, and promoting the quality improvement of new energy batteries and materials industries.
