Sichuan Province's support for the vanadium battery industry was not a one-time effort, but rather a comprehensive support system that built from the top down the specific implementation through a series of closely connected policies.
-In May 2024, six departments including the Provincial Economic and Information Commission jointly introduced the country's first provincial-level special for the vanadium battery industry - the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Vanadium Battery Energy Storage Industry". This plan further clarified the development goals of industry: to be among the forefront of the country in terms of technical level and innovation capability by 2027, and quantitative indicators were proposed for the production capacity of key and components.
- In July 2025, the Provincial Government Office issued the "Implementation Plan for the Development and Expansion of Emerging Industries and theelerated Cultivation of Future Industries", which included all-vanadium flow batteries as a key focus in emerging industries, emphasizing technological innovation and commercial applications
- In August 2025, the provincial government, in the "Several Opinions on Deeply Promoting the New Round of Major Mineral Exploration and Breaking through the Strategic Action to Promote High-Quality Development of Mining Industry", once again emphasized the need to coordinate the guarantee of resource elements and promote the and large-scale development of vanadium battery energy storage industry.
The release of the latest notice in 2026 is a reiteration and focus on the existing policy direction, indicating that the status of vanadium batteries a "new industry track" has been institutionalized and normalized, and is bound to continue to receive resource bias and development momentum.
