The rapid growth in computing power demand is redefining the value boundaries of energy storage. At the 13th China (Ningbo) Battery New Energy Industry International Summit Forum (ABEC 2026), recently held in Ningbo, the AI data center (AIDC) energy storage track—spawned by the computing power wave—took center stage. Attending experts believe that AIDC BBU battery cells are entering a critical certification and positioning window, and that rising computing power demand is forcing power supporting facilities to iterate, opening up entirely new incremental space for energy storage. Against this backdrop, large-scale commercialization of all-solid-state batteries is expected to arrive by 2035.
