From December 9–11, the 2025 GGII Energy Storage Annual Conference—jointly organized by GGII Energy Storage and GGII Industrial Research Institute—was held in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. More than 600 industry experts, corporate leaders, technical and marketing executives, and investment professionals gathered to discuss future market trends. Howard Ma, Senior Partner of Far East Battery and Head of the Energy Storage Research Institute, was invited to deliver a keynote speech. At the concurrent Golden Globe Award Ceremony, Far East Battery Jiangsu Co., Ltd. received two major awards: “2025 Golden Globe Award – Benchmark Project of the Year” and “2025 Golden Globe Award – Investment Value of the Year.” Cui Dong, Senior Partner, Supervisor of Far East Battery Jiangsu, and Head of Domestic ESS Customers, accepted the awards on behalf of the company.

Keynote Speech | New Opportunities in the Transformation of C&I Energy Storage

During the session “C&I Energy Storage: Breaking Through Returns and Empowering End-Users,” Howard Ma delivered the keynote “New Opportunities in the Transformation of the C&I Energy Storage Market.” His insights covered core topics such as market growth dynamics, policy direction, system safety mechanisms, and intelligent operational models, offering a comprehensive view of Far East Battery’s technology roadmap and system capabilities for the new market cycle.

Howard Ma emphasized that 2025 marks the acceleration phase for C&I energy storage, with the user side—especially C&I scenarios—gaining increasing share. At the same time, challenges such as narrowing peak–valley spreads, cost pressure, and rising safety risks are pushing the market from price-driven competition to value-driven competition focused on reliability, stable returns, and safety capabilities. Solutions that ensure long-term operational safety, quantifiable economic performance, and intelligent dispatching will lead the next phase of market adoption.

In response to these trends, he highlighted Far East Battery’s full-stack in-house development capabilities—from cells and modules to PACK and system integration—forming a complete product portfolio across S&G ESS, C&I ESS, and residential ESS. Leveraging extensive cell-level empirical data, large-scale system validation, and intelligent manufacturing, Far East Storage has developed a five-layer safety architecture and a lifecycle risk management system. With cell-level thermal isolation, cluster-level optimization, multi-level system warnings, and cloud-based AI active protection, the company ensures long-term stable operation across diverse and complex application scenarios—already proven in large-scale power plants, high-energy industrial facilities, and PV+ESS hybrid projects.

Panel Discussion | Full-Stack Capabilities Supporting System Safety and Long-Term Value

During the panel discussion, Howard Ma—together with several industry representatives—explored topics including return-on-investment boundaries under current cost structures, the construction of trustworthy safety systems, and coordinated risk management across uncertainties, providing an in-depth industry outlook.

He noted that the C&I energy storage sector is rapidly transitioning from a “scale-driven, price-led” phase toward a stage defined by system safety, comprehensive returns, and intelligent operation. As electricity pricing mechanisms trend toward rationality, long-term project value will no longer depend solely on upfront equipment cost, but on lifecycle performance, system reliability, energy efficiency, and intelligent scheduling capability. Far East Battery continues to focus on real-world customer use cases, driving safer, more stable, and more efficient C&I energy storage solutions that deliver sustained value.
