Sunrise New Energy commences construction of graphite anode production line

Sunrise New Energy (EPOW) has officially commenced construction of its new 20,000-ton high-end graphite anode material production line. This project represents a total planned investment of approximately $64M and is designed for an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons. The facility will incorporate key processes including pre-carbonization, high-temperature carbonization, and automated finished product lines. It marks a critical milestone for Sunrise as it accelerates capacity expansion to meet surging demand from leading lithium-ion battery manufacturers. ased on existing orders and market demand, Sunrise expects its graphite anode shipments to reach 40,000-50,000 tons in 2025, up from 28,200 tons in 2024. With its Phase I Guizhou production base designed for 50,000 tons per year, Sunrise anticipates operating at or near full capacity in 2025. The new 20,000-ton line will provide much-needed additional capacity, with operations expected to begin later this year. Upon reaching full production, the new line is expected to contribute approximately $110M in annual revenue and $16M in annual profit.
