[SMM Analysis] On March 21, the bid results for the 6GWh energy storage cell framework procurement by China Energy Engineering Group Energy Storage Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. were announced. Eight companies, including EVE Energy, REPT BATTERO, Sunwoda Power, CALB, CHUNENG New Energy, Ganfeng Lithium, Envision Energy, and Desay Battery, were selected.

In December 2024, China Energy Engineering Group Energy Storage Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. initiated the 2025 6GWh energy storage cell framework procurement, divided into Package 1 (5GWh) and Package 2 (1GWh). Package 1 required the procurement of square cells with a rate of 0.5C and 0.25C, with cell dimensions limited to 207 * 174 * 72mm. Package 2 involved the procurement of square cells with a rate of 1C, with no size restrictions. This tender attracted participation from eight leading companies, including EVE Energy, REPT BATTERO, and Sunwoda Power, and the final bid results were announced on March 21, 2025, signaling the latest trends in energy storage cell market prices and technology.

The average winning bid price for Package 1 was 0.2764 RMB/Wh, with the lowest bid reaching 0.27 RMB/Wh (REPT BATTERO and CHUNENG New Energy). The average winning bid price for Package 2 was 0.3182 RMB/Wh, 15.1% higher than Package 1. The significant price difference is mainly due to the upgraded requirements for materials, manufacturing processes (electrode compaction density), and thermal management systems for high-rate cells. Notably, Ganfeng Lithium secured the lowest bid in Package 2 at 0.285 RMB/Wh, which is not significantly different from the industry's 0.5C cell prices.

All eight selected companies are among the top 15 battery manufacturers in China, with no "dark horse" emerging. This may indicate that the energy storage cell market has entered a phase of intense competition among leading players, driven by technological, financial, and supply chain barriers.

[SMM Analysis] On March 24, 2025, the Ministry of Finance released the “Report on the Implementation of China's Fiscal Policy in 2024”, which explicitly proposed that in 2025, fiscal policy will implement a more forceful “green shift.” Under the framework of the “dual carbon” goals, the development of renewable energy and the promotion of new energy vehicles will be used as strategic fulcrums. This policy orientation not only reflects the intrinsic needs of China's high-quality economic development but also provides a Chinese solution for the global energy transition.

[SMM Analysis] Analysis of the Cancellation of Mandatory Energy Storage Allocation Policy & Interpretation of Document 136

[SMM Analysis] On February 9, 2025, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Notice on Deepening the Market-oriented Reform of New Energy Feed-in Tariffs to Promote High-quality Development of New Energy" (NDRC Price [2025] No. 136, hereinafter referred to as "Circular No. 136"). The notice clearly stipulates the cancellation of the mandatory energy storage policy for new energy projects, marking the exit of the administrative energy storage mechanism, which has been in place for nearly eight years, from the historical stage. This policy aims to address industry pain points such as inefficient resource allocation, sharp increase in cost pressures for new energy enterprises, and the phenomenon of energy storage being "built but not used," and to promote the transition of energy storage from "policy-driven" to "economy-driven."

[SMM Analysis] EU Delays Carbon Emission Standards to 2027 Amidst Industry Turbulence

[SMM Analysis] On March 3, 2025, the European Commission announced a delay in implementing automotive carbon emission regulations until 2027, sparking global attention. This decision reflects Europe’s multifaceted challenges in its electrification transition: declining profitability among domestic automakers, mounting supply chain restructuring pressures, and the rapid expansion of Chinese NEV brands in the region. According to the European Environment Agency, the EU’s EV adoption rate reached only 15.8% in 2024, 4.2 percentage points below its original target. Meanwhile, Chinese brands now command 18% of Europe’s NEV market—a twelvefold increase since 2020.
