Pine Energy Appears on CCTV, Global Energy Storage Deployment

On the evening of April 3, 2026, Wenying Tan, President of Pine Energy Technology, was invited to appear on CCTV-2’s “CCTV Financial Commentary” program, where he discussed with Chen Haisheng, Director of the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chairman of the Zhongguancun Energy Storage Technology and Industry Alliance, the changes in the energy storage market, challenges, opportunities, and development directions for Chinese energy storage companies going global.

As a highly influential domestic financial media platform, CCTV Finance mainly focuses on topics and companies that significantly impact the national economy. Pine Energy Technology’s participation in this in-depth interview indicates that the company’s over ten years of technological accumulation and market position have attracted national media attention.

During the program, Pine Energy Technology, one of the earliest domestic companies to enter the energy storage field, was discussed within the context of the industry’s transformation and its role in the sector.

In the interview, Wenying Tan explained that Pine Energy Technology delivered its first energy storage system overseas in 2013, making it one of the earliest Chinese companies to go abroad, witnessing the entire process of China’s energy storage industry from inception to gradual growth.

As the industry chain matures and market demands evolve, Pine Energy Technology has transitioned from an early-stage provider focused on home energy storage equipment to a comprehensive provider offering solutions across residential, commercial, industrial, grid-side, and lightweight power applications, establishing a full lifecycle operation and maintenance support system.

Technological and Project Progress: Continuous Advancement of All-Scenario Solutions

Pine Energy Technology’s capabilities in all-scenario solutions have been validated through products and projects.

Recently, at the Beijing Energy Storage Exhibition, the company launched large-capacity cells of 588Ah and 601Ah, along with the PyOcean series 6.25MWh/8MWh energy storage systems. The 601Ah cells have an energy density of 425.8Wh/L, a cycle life exceeding 12,000 cycles, and an efficiency of 96.5%.

In terms of project delivery, several grid-side energy storage projects have been successfully completed, including the Jiangsu Huadian Yizheng 40MW/80MWh project, a European thermal power plant 9.6MW/16MWh project, and the Ningxia Yinchuan 200MW/400MWh independent shared energy storage project, with the company’s large-scale storage business accelerating.

In the lightweight power sector, Pine Energy Technology also demonstrates strong growth momentum. Markets such as shared battery swapping, electric motorcycles, and electric tricycles have achieved large-scale application, with products covering end-users and swapping operators across multiple scenarios.

By 2025, the overall revenue from lightweight power products increased by 16.10 times. Notably, sodium-ion batteries used mainly for shared swapping batteries and start-stop power supplies reached sales of 787MWh and 164MWh, respectively.

Global Operations: Deep Localized Development to Build a Cooperative Ecosystem

From cell to system technology R&D, product design, and mass manufacturing, moving from single products to comprehensive solutions, Pine Energy Technology has entered the stage of “globalized and localized operations” after more than a decade of development.

Wenying Tan pointed out that Pine Energy Technology has established subsidiaries in multiple countries overseas and hired local employees. How to meet local tax, finance, and labor regulations and achieve compliant operations has become a new challenge for sustainable development.

Wenying Tan stated that localized operations help better understand customer needs and enable precise demand fulfillment. Additionally, they allow the company to combine technological advantages with local resources, creating jobs and tax revenue, driving industry development, and fostering positive interactions with local communities, ultimately building a mutually beneficial cooperation ecosystem.

According to the “14th Five-Year Plan,” new energy storage is listed as one of the key emerging pillar industries for development. Pine Energy Technology’s appearance on CCTV Finance reflects its years of technological accumulation and market expansion gaining mainstream media attention.

Pine Energy Technology announced that it will continue to advance in technological R&D, market expansion, and global operations, exploring development paths for Chinese energy storage enterprises.
