<b>Recent Developments in Energy Storage</b>
At the <b>ESIE 2025</b> exhibition, <b>Fors China</b> showcased its innovative <b>immersion cooling technology</b> for energy storage thermal management. This solution is recognized for its <b>safety</b>, <b>efficiency</b>, and <b>environmental friendliness</b>, making it suitable for applications in energy storage, data centers, and new energy vehicles. Fors' technological advantages include <b>uniform temperature safety</b>, <b>customized products</b>, and <b>full lifecycle support</b>, which have been successfully deployed in various commercial energy storage projects. In response to the industry's need for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, Fors will continue to develop high-safety, long-lifespan cooling technologies, expand market applications, and reinforce its leading position in the sector.
This week has seen a wealth of activity in the energy storage industry. The <b>National Development and Reform Commission</b> is encouraging improvements to the electricity spot market, ancillary service market, and coal power capacity pricing mechanisms, with various regions introducing specific measures to support energy storage development. Recent industry dynamics indicate a surge in domestic and international energy storage projects, such as <b>Yuneng Mofang</b>'s signing of a significant overseas contract and <b>Yiwei Lithium Energy</b>'s launch of a new energy storage system. Additionally, numerous energy storage batteries, systems, and pumped storage projects have made progress, with state-owned enterprises accelerating their investments in the energy storage sector.
<b>China National Petroleum Corporation</b> plans to procure <b>160 liquid-cooled energy storage containers</b> with a total budget of <b>16 million yuan</b> (including tax). This project involves energy storage battery containers, monitoring systems, and auxiliary equipment. Bidders must possess the appropriate qualifications; joint bids are not accepted. The delivery period is within 40 days after the production order is issued. The bid documents must be purchased and downloaded through the <b>China Petroleum Electronic Bidding Platform</b>, with a bid guarantee of <b>100,000 yuan</b>. The deadline for bids and the opening date is set for <b>April 29, 2025</b>.
In <b>Shanxi</b>, adjustments have been made to the energy storage project list, adding <b>2.41 GW</b> / <b>4.72 GWh</b> projects; in <b>Hainan</b>, distributed photovoltaics can now integrate energy storage without capacity limits; <b>Shandong</b> encourages the combined development of distributed photovoltaics and energy storage; and <b>Sichuan</b> is promoting the application of “new energy + energy storage.” Domestically, several energy storage projects in <b>Guangdong</b> and <b>Zhejiang</b> have made strides. Internationally, <b>Spearmint Energy</b> in the U.S. is constructing a <b>400 MWh</b> energy storage system, while the <b>Varco Energy</b> storage project in the U.K. has entered commercial operation. Moreover, multiple enterprises have signed strategic cooperation agreements to advance energy storage industry development.
<b>Xinjiang Huadian</b> has announced the procurement of a <b>6 GWh</b> energy storage system, with candidates including <b>CRRC Zhuzhou Institute</b>, <b>BYD</b>, <b>Huadian Heavy Industry</b>, <b>Pinggao Group</b>, <b>Tebian Electric Apparatus</b>, <b>East China Electric Power</b>, and <b>XJ Group</b>, with the lowest bid at <b>0.405 yuan/Wh</b>. The project requires battery single-cell capacity to be ≥314Ah with a total warranty of 5 years, and joint bids are not accepted.
<b>Shandong</b> has issued a notification allowing the installation of energy storage in areas with limited access for distributed photovoltaics to promote the development of virtual power plants. The notification emphasizes policy support for eligible pilot projects, encourages participation in various electricity markets, and specifies evaluation standards for construction effectiveness to enhance the secure operation of the power system and the absorption of new energy.
On <b>April 17</b>, the “2025 Photovoltaic Energy Storage Industry Overseas Experience Sharing Conference” was successfully held in <b>Hangzhou</b>. The event focused on the development of the photovoltaic energy storage industry under the global carbon neutrality goals, gathering industry experts and corporate executives to discuss opportunities and challenges in overseas markets. The importance of technological innovation, localization strategies, and industrial chain collaboration was emphasized. Participants agreed that despite facing trade barriers and policy differences, the opportunities for the photovoltaic energy storage sector abroad are substantial, necessitating collaborative efforts to advance global industry development.
