Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal told a visiting German green-tech delegation on September 9 that pre-war generation capacity of more than 50 GW had fallen to under 10 GW following last winter's attacks, and that the country's strategic goal is to return above 50 GW with a fundamentally different energy mix: around 30% renewables, hydrogen-ready gas-fired plants, and nuclear, with no significant rebuilding of coal. Distributed solar and storage are positioned as core elements of national security architecture, with German firms such as BSW-Solar members already engaging on hospital, water utility, school, and business resilience projects.

[SMM Analysis] National Day Energy Storage Market Review: Demand Remains Strong, Delivery Enters Acceleration Phase

[SMM Analysis] During the National Day holiday, energy storage projects in China and overseas continued to advance, and earlier orders still provide strong support for Q4 demand. After the holiday, market focus will further shift from orders and production schedules to delivery, grid connection, and operational fulfillment. The pace at which installations absorb earlier shipments deserves close attention.

[SMM Energy Storage Battery Cell Market Weekly Review 9.3] Energy storage battery cell prices pull back slightly, and production schedule growth will rebound significantly in Q4.

[SMM Analysis] ESS battery cell prices edged down this week, tracking raw material fluctuations, but with supply-demand conditions remaining tight, room for a sharp price pullback is limited. China's ESS battery production rose 4.92% MoM in September, a slower pace than August, mainly due to the ramp-up progress of large-capacity cell production lines and supply disruptions for some upstream raw materials. Entering Q4, as large-cell production lines continue to ramp up, production efficiency improves, and raw material supply disruptions gradually ease, the industry's production schedule growth is expected to rebound. Current enterprise production plans already reflect a trend of gradually accelerating growth in October-November, and overall production activity for ESS battery cells remains at a relatively high level.
