In November 2026, four departments in Jiangsu jointly released a special action plan for the new energy storage industry, directly pushing the province's cumulative installed capacity target beyond the threshold of 10 million kilowatts by 2030. This is not an ordinary industry number, behind it is a complete roadmap for Jiangsu to leap from a major energy storage manufacturing province to a national innovation highland for new energy storage industries.

Behind the goal of 10 million kilowatts

By 2030, Jiangsu will organize and implement no less than 10 key technology research and development tasks, focusing on breakthroughs in core shortcomings such as high specific energy electrode materials, high stability electrolyte materials, and high-end power semiconductor devices. High speed intelligent coating machines, roller presses, laminating machines and other energy storage specialized equipment will also achieve autonomous controllability synchronously, completely breaking through the full chain blockage from upstream materials to downstream equipment.

Jiangsu will also promote the application of no less than 80 new technologies and products in the field of energy storage in the next few years, and build a product supply system mainly based on lithium batteries, with multiple technology routes such as sodium ion batteries, flow batteries, and compressed air energy storage complementing each other, so that suitable local solutions can be found for energy storage needs in different scenarios.

Energy storage is no longer just a supporting component of the power grid

The application boundaries of new energy storage will extend from traditional power systems to five core areas including industry, computing power, transportation, and communication. High energy consuming enterprises can flexibly adjust their electricity load through energy storage. Data centers can rely on energy storage to achieve efficient linkage between computing power and green electricity. Large scale fast charging infrastructure in transportation stations can also rely on energy storage to smooth peak hours and stabilize the power grid.

Previously, Jiangsu has clearly defined the rules for graded regulation management. New energy storage projects with a capacity of less than 300000 kilowatts are directly issued with regulation documents by the prefecture level cities. Projects that are not included in provincial planning can also directly participate in the electricity market to obtain profits. On the basis of the operation of new energy power entering the power market in all respects from January 2026, the window for the commercialization of new energy storage in Jiangsu has been fully opened, and it is no longer necessary to wait for additional subsidies, but can rely on the market-oriented mechanism to achieve self circulation.Editor/Cheng Liting
