SMM Tier 1 is an authoritative certification system defined by SMM as an independent third-party market research institution for the global new energy industry.

SMM Tier 1 is an authoritative certification system defined by SMM as an independent third-party market research institution for the global new energy industry. This system employs a rigorous, transparent, and comprehensive methodology to evaluate companies across various segments of the new energy sector, aiming to set benchmarks for excellence in the industry.

The new energy industry is rapidly evolving, yet market information is fragmented, corporate strength is difficult to quantify, and supply chain credibility is questionable. SMM Tier 1, with "transparent methodology + independent audit" at its core, establishes "globally comparable" industry benchmarks for segments such as ESS, sodium-ion battery, and lithium battery materials, facilitating precise capital decision-making, efficient industry collaboration, and the manifestation of technological value.

After extensive field trips to assess companies' basic data, such as capacity layout, production scale, order delivery (directly sourced from SMM's industry database), and technical investment, and introducing third-party institutions (such as Dun & Bradstreet, SGS, etc.) to verify data authenticity, ensuring the list is "zero inflated," SMM selected the "2025 SMM Global Tier 1 ESS Battery Cell First-tier Suppliers" list and held a grand award ceremony during the banquet of the 2025 (10th) New Energy Industry Expo, hosted by SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM).

[SMM Analysis] Calculation of the tariff rate for U.S. exports of energy storage cells to China after the implementation of the "reciprocal tariff."

[SMM Analysis] On the afternoon of April 2nd local time, according to the White House statement, the 10% "benchmark tariff" will take effect at 00:01 Eastern Time on April 5th. The higher "reciprocal tariff" targeting specific countries will come into force at 00:01 on April 9th. After the reciprocal tariff takes effect, considering all the tariff policies, the combined tariff rate for energy storage cells will reach: 3.4% basic tariff + 7.5% Section 301 tariff + 20% general tariff + 34% reciprocal tariff = 64.9%.

[SMM Analysis] Ministry of Finance 2024 Implementation Report: Analysis of Renewable Energy and New Energy Vehicle Policies

[SMM Analysis] On March 24, 2025, the Ministry of Finance released the “Report on the Implementation of China's Fiscal Policy in 2024”, which explicitly proposed that in 2025, fiscal policy will implement a more forceful “green shift.” Under the framework of the “dual carbon” goals, the development of renewable energy and the promotion of new energy vehicles will be used as strategic fulcrums. This policy orientation not only reflects the intrinsic needs of China's high-quality economic development but also provides a Chinese solution for the global energy transition.

[SMM Analysis] Analysis of the Cancellation of Mandatory Energy Storage Allocation Policy & Interpretation of Document 136

[SMM Analysis] On February 9, 2025, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Notice on Deepening the Market-oriented Reform of New Energy Feed-in Tariffs to Promote High-quality Development of New Energy" (NDRC Price [2025] No. 136, hereinafter referred to as "Circular No. 136"). The notice clearly stipulates the cancellation of the mandatory energy storage policy for new energy projects, marking the exit of the administrative energy storage mechanism, which has been in place for nearly eight years, from the historical stage. This policy aims to address industry pain points such as inefficient resource allocation, sharp increase in cost pressures for new energy enterprises, and the phenomenon of energy storage being "built but not used," and to promote the transition of energy storage from "policy-driven" to "economy-driven."

CATL, SVOLT Energy Technology, REPT Battero, Great Power Energy, Ganfeng LiEnergy, Highstar, and other battery cell enterprises gathered in Suzhou, waiting for you in April!

Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goals, energy storage is continuously adapting to the characteristics and demands of new-type power systems, playing a supportive role in these systems and becoming a crucial guarantee for achieving the energy technology revolution. The innovation and iteration of energy storage system products have become a strong driving force leading the development of the energy storage industry. Currently, the mainstream container energy storage system products in the industry are still primarily of 5MWh capacity. However, during the ESIE 2024 energy storage exhibition, SVOLT Energy Technology, REPT Battero, BYD Energy Storage, and CATL were the first to showcase energy storage systems exceeding 6MWh, leading the energy storage industry towards a high-capacity era at a faster pace. It is particularly noteworthy that in this round of capacity upgrade competition, the frontrunners are all companies primarily engaged in the battery business. Whether in terms of safety, cost, or performance, the role of battery cells in boosting the energy storage industry is self-evident. In this iteration process of energy storage system integration, companies with battery cell R&D and manufacturing capabilities are demonstrating stronger creativity and vitality than ever before.
