EEX May Launch Standardized Products This Year to Hedge Battery Energy Storage Risks

Here is the professional English translation: Recent Implementation of the 2026 Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Economic and Social Development Plan Issued by the People's Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region The plan outlines key initiatives to advance the construction of a new power system, including: Deepening the implementation of grid enhancement projects; Accelerating the smart grid upgrade of the West Inner Mongolia Power Grid; Building 20 new 500 kV power transmission and transformation projects; Conducting feasibility studies for a UHVDC flexible HVDC transmission line from Alxa to Central Inner Mongolia. Context on Alxa Clean Energy Base Leveraging abundant wind and solar resources, Alxa’s clean energy base development has accelerated significantly.

Recently, the National Government Offices Administration issued a notice regarding the arrangements for energy and resource conservation in public institutions for 2026. The document mentioned the release of the industry standard "Guidelines for Carbon Emission Accounting in Public Institutions," which clarifies the boundaries, factor values, and methodological steps for carbon emission accounting in public institutions. It also involves calculating and issuing the total carbon emission and intensity targets for public institutions during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, as well as formulating specific implementation plans for carbon emission assessments in public institutions. The structure of energy use will be optimized by promoting the electrification of end-user energy consumption in public institutions and increasing the promotion and application of renewable energy sources such as solar power, along with green and low-carbon technologies and products. Efforts will be made to summarize, refine, and replicate the experiences and practices of building carbon-inclusive systems in public institutions, while encouraging exploration in cutting-edge areas such as carbon asset trading, virtual power plants, and green electricity consumption. The "2024-2025 Green and Low-Carbon Transformation Topic Collection" will be published, and a new round of topic applications will be launched.

Enterprises must clarify the economic value of recycling and emphasize the final stage of the NEV value chain—recycling and utilization. This reveals an important trend: competition in the NEV sector has shifted from the first half focused on driving range and intelligence to the second half, which emphasizes refueling efficiency, life cycle costs, and environmental friendliness.
