Fusion42 · 2 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

New transmission and distribution pricing reforms in China are driving energy storage project operators to recalculate returns and prioritise long-duration projects, shifting profitability dynamics away from short-duration storage reliant on capacity tariffs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
