This week, ESS battery cell prices remained stable, but prices for certain battery cell models may increase in the future.

Published: Mar 6, 2025 15:53
This week, ESS battery cell prices remained largely stable. The main reason was the rise in prices of key materials such as graphite anode material and SBR, leading to a slight increase in ESS battery cell costs in the short term, though the growth was limited. According to SMM calculations, as of last Friday, the theoretical cost of a 280Ah battery cell was 0.298 yuan/Wh, while that of a 314Ah battery cell was 0.2823 yuan/Wh. Looking ahead, ESS battery cell market demand is expected to gradually recover by late Q1 to early Q2. However, due to the relatively small fluctuation in battery cell costs and the completion of the capacity transition for 314Ah ESS battery cells, product supply is sufficient, and mainstream 314Ah battery cell prices are expected to remain largely stable. Meanwhile, 280Ah and 100Ah battery cells may face a risk of slight price increases in the short term due to tight supply, as low-cost inventory from earlier periods has been depleted.

Beijing Launches 500-kV Power Project in Fengtai, Boosting Grid Resilience and Industrial Growth
On January 28th, the construction of the 500-kilovolt power transmission and transformation project in Fengtai, Beijing officially started. This project is the first newly-built 500-kilovolt power grid project in Beijing during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. It will significantly enhance the resilience and power receiving capacity of the southern Beijing power grid and provide reliable power support for Beijing to continuously optimize the investment structure and vigorously develop high-end, precise, and cutting-edge industries. The 500-kilovolt power transmission and transformation project in Fengtai, Beijing is a key project of Beijing's power grid during the 15th Five-Year Plan period and one of the "3 100" key projects in Beijing this year. It is constructed and managed by the State
