On September 15, 2025, the 'Action Plan for Establishing Guangzhou as a Pilot City for the Widespread Adoption of National Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Interaction (2025 - 2027)' was formally unveiled. Backed by the development of a new energy framework and a novel power system, and rooted in Guangzhou's strategic role as the 'City of Intelligent Vehicles,' this plan aims to drive the widespread implementation of bidirectional V2G interaction between new energy vehicles and the power grid.

The plan advocates for the consolidation of vehicle-to-grid interaction resources to engage in the electricity spot market. It supports charging station operators in regularly taking part in electricity spot trading, either by acquiring electricity sales licenses or by partnering with reputable electricity sales firms, thereby facilitating precise peak-load shifting and valley-filling operations.

Furthermore, the plan delves into the potential of aggregating vehicle-to-grid interaction resources to participate in the ancillary services market, with the ambition to have at least 10 stations aggregated for frequency regulation by the close of 2025. It also explores involvement in green electricity trading, including the research and design of pilot initiatives. The plan encourages charging station operators to engage in green electricity trading via virtual power plant platforms, investigates mechanisms for green electricity trading and green certificate traceability, and formulates strategies to align with the carbon inclusive benefits framework.

By the end of 2025, the objective is to have 600 intelligent and orderly charging stations, 130 intelligent and orderly battery swap stations, and 28,000 intelligent and orderly charging piles linked to the government-regulated platform. The combined vehicle-to-grid interaction resources connected to the Guangzhou Virtual Power Plant platform are projected to reach 430,000 kilowatts. The number of V2G charging piles and V2G vehicles routinely involved in peak-shaving and valley-filling activities is expected to surpass 1,000 each, with V2G discharged electricity amounting to no less than 1.5 million kilowatt-hours, and escalating to not less than 2 million kilowatt-hours and 2.5 million kilowatt-hours in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
