The core of the new policy is that PV products will have their 9% VAT export tax rebate fully canceled starting April 1, 2026, while energy storage-related batteries will see a two-step reduction (9%→6% from April-December 2026, and full cancellation from January 2027). . Global energy storage markets face a fundamental restructuring as China implements systematic reductions in value-added tax rebates for battery exports. The policy applies to. . The end of China's export tax rebate. This fiscal change will ripple through global pricing since China supplies over 80% of the world's solar modules and 90% of lithium iron phosphate (LFP). . On January 8, 2026, China's Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration jointly released Announcement No.

The IEC 62933 series establishes a framework for electrical energy storage (EES) systems, including grid-scale and commercial applications. It covers general requirements, safety, performance, environmental considerations, and grid integration. . The proposed methodology applies to grid energy storage projects that optimize operations to achieve a reduction in the grid's GHG emissions. Low-carbon electricity is dispatched during periods when the marginal emission rate is high. It aims to be valid in all major markets and geographic regions, for all applications, on all levels from component to system, covering the entire life. . ble energy resources—wind, solar photovoltaic, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). These resources electrically connect to the grid through an inverter— power electronic devices that convert DC energy into AC energy—and are referred to as inverter-based resources (IBRs). A modern utility-scale BESS typically integrates battery modules with. . Coordinated, consistent, interconnection standards, communication standards, and implementation guidelines are required for energy storage devices (ES), power electronics connected distributed energy resources (DER), hybrid generation-storage systems (ES-DER), and plug-in electric vehicles (PEV). Rather than being a single document, IEC62933 is a. .
