At its meeting on Nov. 28, the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) pledged to accelerate the implementation of targeted policies and measures to curb “irrational competition” in the power and battery energy storage industry.

Oversupply and aggressive bidding have eroded margins in China’s energy storage market, threatening the viability of numerous players. In response, industry voices in the world’s largest energy storage manufacturing hub have been advocating for price control, higher standards and reforms that would safeguard quality and ensure long-term stability.
