Is the Business Center Shifting to ESS?
Recently, institutions such as the Zhongguancun Energy Storage Industry Technology Alliance and SMM have successively released the 2024 ESS battery cell shipment rankings, showing that EVE Energy has surpassed BYD, with shipments second only to CATL. In contrast, EVE Energy's ranking in the power battery market has declined, which may indicate that the company significantly adjusted its strategic focus last year.
EVE Energy previously disclosed that in the first three quarters of last year, its ESS battery shipments reached 35.73GWh, up 115.57% YoY. The company's annual ESS battery shipment target was set at 50GWh, equivalent to twice the 2023 shipment volume. Notably, the expansion of overseas business further strengthened EVE Energy's competitiveness in the global ESS sector, with its overseas shipments significantly increasing compared to 2023.
Meanwhile, EVE Energy's ESS battery cell shipment forms have become more diversified, including supplying ESS battery cells and packs to system integrators, as well as directly providing self-produced energy storage systems to developers. EVE Energy's ESS batteries are widely used in household ESS, industrial and commercial ESS, grid-side ESS, and renewable energy ESS, with broad market coverage.
In terms of globalization strategy, EVE Energy has adopted a more open approach, establishing partnerships with multiple energy companies, power grid firms, and equipment manufacturers, further expanding its market share. Its products are exported to Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and other regions, demonstrating strong international competitiveness.
