"At the 2023 Energy Storage Industry Innovation and Development Forum held today, Zhang Hongbin, director of the New Energy Development Department of Shanghai Electric Group, said that independent energy storage may become the main commercial model of source-side energy storage. He believes that at present (new energy) the mandatory storage utilization coefficient is only 6%, the profit model and the demand for calling have not yet shown the effectiveness of large-scale use. Under this background, independent energy storage gradually stands out in the market with the advantages of profit directness and diversity. At the same time, compared with the decentralized storage of self-storage, independent storage has the advantages of more efficient scheduling operation, more controllable safety quality and more obvious economic benefits."
