Energy Storage’s Second Half: Using It Well Matters More Than Building More
October 8, 2026

Storage capacity is scaling fast—China’s new-type storage exceeded 140 GW by Q1 2026. The real question now is how to create value after construction.

From Building to Market Participation
Storage is becoming a key player in power markets and flexibility, requiring expertise in pricing, dispatch, and operations.

System Capability Drives Value
Market operations demand precise sensing, intelligent decisions, flexible control, and fast response. Applications span spot trading, ancillary services, arbitrage, renewable integration, and grid support.

Technology in Practice
EAST advances grid-forming PCS and storage systems. Its 6.7MW/26.8MWh liquid-cooled system achieves >99% efficiency and ≤3°C cell temperature difference. The Xinjiang Minfeng 200MW/800MWh grid-forming project, using EAST’s solution, completed backfeed in August 2026.

Competition Begins After Delivery
With a 4S self-developed system—BMS, PCS, EMS, PMS—EAST helps storage move from building more to using better, delivering lifecycle value.
