On November 13, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the Implementation Plan for New Energy Storage under the 15th Five-Year Plan. The plan proposes encouraging new energy storage manufacturing enterprises to improve their capacity to secure key raw materials and ensure product quality, consolidate independent R&D and manufacturing capabilities across the entire industrial chain, optimize the development of performance testing capabilities, and study a recycling system. It also encourages local governments to cultivate industrial ecosystem clusters tailored to local conditions, strengthen market research and assessment, leverage the role of demand guidance, and promote rational capacity layout and structural optimization. In addition, the plan calls for implementing the regulatory requirements of the lithium battery industry, guiding energy storage battery enterprises to advance project construction in an orderly manner, and preventing the risks of blind expansion.
