On February 11, 2025, Kaiping Gaozhi New Energy Co., Ltd., a joint venture established by Kaiping Public Utilities Group Co., Ltd. and StarCharge, was officially inaugurated. As a top unicorn in Asia's digital energy sector, StarCharge — with its technological strengths and industry expertise — has joined forces with the Kaiping state-owned asset platform to jointly build a new benchmark for the new energy industry and help Kaiping embark on a new journey toward the 'dual carbon' goals.
01Grounded in National Strategy, Building a Green Future Together
Guided by the 'dual carbon' goals, the new energy industry is enjoying a golden period of development. As one of Guangdong Province's first pilot county-level cities for carbon peaking, Kaiping is accelerating the construction of a green, low-carbon economic system. In this partnership, the two sides deeply integrate 'state-owned strength + private-sector vitality', drawing on the resource advantages of Kaiping Public Utilities Group and the technological strengths of StarCharge to focus on core businesses such as new energy equipment sales, smart energy services, and project development and operation, injecting strong momentum into the region's energy transition.
02Four Core Businesses Empowering the Entire Industry Chain
Distribution and Sales of Well-Known Domestic New Energy Products
Distributing well-known domestic brands of PV inverters, energy storage batteries, charging piles, and other products, and combining them with StarCharge's core technologies in the charging field to provide efficient solutions for distributed PV, wind power, and other projects.
Professional Consulting and Planning Services
From industrial planning to financing design, and from carbon asset management to green finance product development, providing governments and enterprises with full-lifecycle services. These include promoting the unified state-capital operation of Kaiping's charging network, innovatively designing financing models such as ABS/REITs, and accelerating project implementation.
Smart Energy Operations Ecosystem
Building a three-dimensional model of 'energy production + data services + financial derivatives', deploying a virtual power plant (VPP) platform, and achieving integrated source-grid-load-storage regulation. StarCharge's digital technologies will empower Kaiping to build an energy cockpit, creating a provincial benchmark for digital energy management.
Full-Lifecycle O&M Services
Relying on the intelligent O&M APP and GIS systems to achieve closed-loop management of equipment inspection, fault early warning, and energy efficiency optimization, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of new energy projects.
03Addressing Livelihood Pain Points with Innovative Service Models
To tackle the difficulty of charging in older residential communities, the joint venture has pioneered a model of 'state-owned enterprise construction and operation + subdistrict and community collaborative management', planning the scientific deployment of charging piles to improve coverage and ease of use. At the same time, through bundled 'green power + carbon asset' products, residents will share in the 'dual carbon' dividend.
Kaiping Gaozhi New Energy Co., Ltd. will deeply integrate StarCharge's closed-loop 'vehicle-pile-network' ecosystem experience and accelerate the deployment of smart charging stations, integrated PV-storage-charging projects, and virtual power plant platforms. In the future, the company will also explore innovations in mixed-ownership reform mechanisms and work with technical teams to optimize local operations, helping Kaiping become a benchmark for green energy transition in the Greater Bay Area.
This partnership is a key step for Wanbang Digital Energy in responding to the national strategy and deepening its market layout. Going forward, StarCharge will take technology as its engine and users as its center, joining hands with Kaiping's state-owned assets to write a new chapter of high-quality new energy development!
