Driven by the dual impetus of the "dual-carbon" goals and the new strategy for energy security, the energy storage industry is ushering in a golden era of large-scale development. From August 12th to 15th, 2025, the "2025 EESA Energy Storage Summit (Shanghai)" and the "4th EESA Energy Storage Exhibition", hosted by EESA, were grandly held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) and Shanghai InterContinental Hotel. With the theme of "Green Carbon Ecology, Smart Storage Era", this industry event, which gathered global leading forces in the energy storage sector, built a high-quality cooperation platform for the global energy storage industry through various forms such as high-level dialogues, achievement displays, and technical exchanges, facilitating the innovation of new energy storage technologies and the sustainable development of the entire industry chain.
Policy Support Paves the Way for a Golden Development Period of the Energy Storage Industry
The 2025 government work report clearly lists "new energy storage" as one of the rapidly developing emerging industries, emphasizing its role as an important support for the country's energy strategic transformation. Against this backdrop, EESA, as a core linker in the energy storage industry, has always adhered to the mission of "Innovation Never Stops, Empowering the Development of the Energy Storage Industry In-Depth" and has built an entire industry chain ecosystem covering upstream advanced materials, midstream system integration to downstream project investment, with more than 4,000 partners and over 1,500 member units. The holding of this summit and exhibition is an important practice of EESA in responding to industry needs and promoting the collaborative development of global energy storage.
Summit Gathers Wisdom to Decode New Paths for Energy Storage Development
On the afternoon of August 12th, the main forum of the 2025 EESA Energy Storage Summit kicked off at the Shanghai InterContinental Hotel of the National Exhibition and Convention Center. Leaders in the global energy storage field gathered to conduct in-depth discussions on hot topics in the new energy storage industry.
At the opening ceremony, Du Xiaotian, Chairman of EESA, delivered a welcome speech. Authoritative representatives at home and abroad, such as Francesco La Camera, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and Luis Neves, CEO of the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), delivered speeches successively, interpreting the strategic value of the energy storage industry from the perspective of global energy transformation. A chair professor from Shanghai Jiao Tong University gave a keynote report entitled "Energy Storage Boosts Green Energy Transformation", analyzing the core role of energy storage in energy structure adjustment.
The summit was full of highlights, and several important sessions attracted industry attention: The launching ceremony of the "Digital Carbon Reduction Platform" of the United Nations Global Innovation Center was successfully held. Representatives from institutions and enterprises such as GeSI, Tencent, and Huawei witnessed the birth of a new global collaborative carbon reduction tool; Shanghai Jiading Industrial Zone signed the "First Batch of Strategic Cooperation Agreements for Zero-Carbon Parks" with enterprises such as Sanjing Electric, Sunwoda, and Inovance Technology, accelerating the implementation of the zero-carbon industrial ecosystem. In addition, two roundtable dialogues focusing on "Digital Empowerment for Sustainable Development" and "Comprehensive Energy Carbon Reduction in Zero-Carbon Parks" gathered executives from enterprises such as Huawei, Tencent, and LONGi Green Energy to in-depth discuss key issues such as the integration of digital technology and energy storage, and the design of park-level energy systems.
In the keynote speech session, industry experts shared practical results around cutting-edge directions such as "Energy Storage + X: Reconstructing a New Paradigm of Energy Ecology" and "AI + Energy Storage Intelligent Operation and Technological Innovation"; the peak dialogue focused on "Opportunities and Challenges of New Energy Storage under the Background of Accelerating the Construction of Electricity Spot Markets". Representatives from enterprises such as Sungrow, Goldwind Zero-Carbon, and Envision Energy had discussions on core issues such as the value anchor of energy storage and business model innovation, providing diversified ideas for industrial development.
Exhibition Scale Reaches New Heights with Concentrated Display of Innovation Achievements in the Entire Industry Chain
From August 13th to 15th, the 4th EESA Energy Storage Exhibition was launched simultaneously at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), with the exhibition scale, the number of exhibitors, and the number of visitors reaching record highs. Global leading energy storage enterprises such as Sungrow, Envision Energy, Haibo Sichuang, Pylontech, and EVE Energy showcased their core technologies and innovative products, covering key links of the entire industry chain such as 电芯,Pack, BMS, PCS, and system integration, concentrating on displaying the latest technological breakthroughs and application achievements in the energy storage field.
More than 20 high-standard activities held during the exhibition became the core carriers of technical exchanges: At the "PCS Special Product Launch Conference", enterprises such as Shenzhen Yilanke, Nanjing Yapai Technology, and TBEA released innovative products such as liquid-cooled PCS modules and zero-carbon solutions; the "Energy Storage Fire Protection and Safety Forum" invited experts from the Tianjin Fire Research Institute and Shanghai Fire Research Institute of the Ministry of Emergency Management to in-depth interpret new regulations such as "Safety Requirements for Lithium-Ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Electrical Energy Storage Systems" and discuss pain points such as thermal runaway early warning and fire-fighting technology innovation; in the "Virtual Power Plant Special Forum", institutions such as Shandong Jianzhu University and GreenVoltis shared practical experiences of distributed energy storage in urban-level virtual power plants, providing references for cross-regional energy collaboration.
In addition, activities such as the EESA Starlight Award Ceremony, Energy Storage Standards and Certification Seminar, and Industrial and Commercial Energy Storage System Special Product Launch Conference were held simultaneously, covering all dimensions such as technological innovation, safety specifications, and market applications, providing the industry with full-chain value from policy interpretation to practical implementation.
Global Collaboration to Build a High-Quality Development Ecosystem for Energy Storage
As an annual event in the global energy storage field, this event received strong support from many institutions and enterprises such as GeSI, Beijing Haibo Sichuang, Ningbo Wanjin New Energy, Shanghai Pylon Energy, and Sungrow Power Supply, gathering core forces from the upstream and downstream of the industry chain. Both the collision of global wisdom in the summit and the display of innovative achievements in the exhibition demonstrated the core consensus of "collaborative innovation and green development" in the energy storage industry.
EESA stated that in the future, it will continue to play the role of a platform linker, promote global energy storage technical exchanges and industrial cooperation through carriers such as exhibitions and summits, help new energy storage technologies play a greater role in energy transformation, and contribute to the achievement of "dual-carbon" goals and sustainable development.
