The latest news on charging energy storage policy

Should energy storage charge and discharge strategies be adjusted?

Shandong, Gansu and other regions implemented complete price adjustments for all TOU periods. While the widening of the peak and off-peak price difference is beneficial to behind-the-meter energy storage applications, energy storage charge and discharge strategies must also be adjusted to adapt to the changes to the peak and off-peak period.

Can public charging infrastructure help EV adoption in dense urban areas?

In dense urban areas, in particular, where access to home charging is more limited, public charging infrastructure is a key enabler for EV adoption.

Can 'charge and discharge electricity prices and settlement' solve commercial development challenges?

Relying solely on the principle that "charge and discharge electricity prices and settlement shall be determined in accordance with relevant national regulations" cannot solve commercial development challenges, but instead shows that policy is oriented towards transferring responsibility.

How important is public charging for EV adoption?

As the market penetration of EVs increases, public charging becomes increasingly important, even in these countries, to support EV adoption among drivers who do not have access to private home or workplace charging options. However, the optimal ratio of EVs per charger will differ based on local conditions and driver needs.

What is the battery policies and incentives search tool?

Because the Battery Policies and Incentives Search tool was established before the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was passed, it has been used as a resource for members of the growing battery industry (e.g., battery producers, recyclers, innovators, and labs) as well as state legislators to guide EV and battery policy.

Will energy storage industrialization be a part of the 14th five-year plan?

While looking back on 2020, we also looking forward to the development of energy storage industrialization during the 14th Five-year Plan, as policy and market mechanisms become the key to promote the full commercialization and large-scale application of energy storage.
