The release of a policy is marking a new value scale for the energy storage industry. As the capacity tariff mechanism links the peaking and discharging capacity of storage to the national electricity price system for the first time, a market-oriented era for new energy storage is opening up.

In January 2026, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology officially issued the "Key Fields and Directions of New Industrial Race in Sichuan Province", which clearly listed "Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Energy Storage" as one of the 25 key fields of the new industrial race.

The energy storage industry is bustling, but there is a technology that is as calm as water, interpreting another possibility of energy storage in a unique way.

In the wave of new energy development, there is a kind of energy storage technology that is quietly emerging, it is not as lively as lithium battery, but it steadily advancing in the field of long-term energy storage with unique advantages.
