Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the rapid expansion of China's new energy storage industry, highlighting the issue of "growth-oriented surplus" and the imbalance between manufacturing and application development, particularly in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces. It emphasizes the need for a shift from a manufacturing-driven to an application-driven model for sustainable development in the energy storage sector [1][2]. Industry Development Foundation - Both Zhejiang and Guangdong are major economic provinces with significant electricity demand, driven by their large industrial bases and urbanization. The transition towards renewable energy and the "dual carbon" goals have increased the demand for new energy storage solutions [3]. - Zhejiang's electricity structure is characterized by a balanced mix of renewable energy, thermal power, and imported electricity, leading to a surge in user-side and grid-side energy storage. In contrast, Guangdong's electricity structure is heavily reliant on high-load industries, necessitating a focus on peak shaving and system stability [4][5]. New Energy Storage Industry Chain Development - Zhejiang focuses on application-driven development, leveraging its strong photovoltaic industry and vibrant private sector to foster innovation in energy storage applications. This has led to the emergence of leading companies in system integration and energy services [6]. - Guangdong, on the other hand, emphasizes manufacturing capabilities, having established a complete energy storage industry chain from battery materials to system integration. This manufacturing-centric approach provides advantages in cost control and international market expansion [7]. Policy and Market Environment - Zhejiang has implemented a multi-faceted policy approach that includes local governance innovations, price incentives, and financial subsidies to stimulate demand and remove market barriers. This has resulted in a mature commercial ecosystem for user-side energy storage [8][9]. - Guangdong's policy framework is characterized by top-down planning and strategic positioning, integrating energy storage into its provincial energy strategy. However, the user-side energy storage market is still in its infancy and requires targeted market and financial tools to accelerate local adoption [10][11]. Policy Precision Guidance - Zhejiang's unique policy framework focuses on creating a comprehensive set of market rules and safety standards, enhancing project efficiency and ensuring safety in energy storage development. This includes significant price signals and local subsidy policies to boost user-side storage investments [10][11].
