[Sichuan Issues the Country's First Special Policy for Vanadium Battery Industry to Expand New Energy Storage Field] Recently, the Sichuan Provincial Economic and Information Technology Department and other five departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-quality Development of Vanadium Battery Energy Storage Industry." This policy is the country's first special policy for the vanadium battery industry. The "Implementation Plan" proposes to support the widespread application of vanadium batteries in various areas such as energy storage for photovoltaic and wind power generation, peak shaving and frequency modulation of power grids, and energy storage for communication base stations. In terms of strengthening technological innovation, the "Implementation Plan" proposes to establish high-level innovation platforms such as vanadium battery energy storage laboratories and pilot maturing platforms. In terms of accelerating the development of industrial clusters, the "Implementation Plan" proposes to support Chengdu, Panzhihua, Guangyuan, Neijiang, Leshan, Dazhou, Liangshan, and other regions to focus on key areas such as vanadium battery basic research innovation, vanadium resource development, vanadium electrolyte preparation, vanadium battery stack, and system integration equipment manufacturing.
