Nari Group Power Grid Branch Manager of Smart Energy Business Department [13:30-13:50] Analysis of the Current Situation and Trends in Industrial and Commercial ESS Wang Liang Ganfeng LiEnergy (Dongguan) Technology Co., Ltd. R&D Director [13:50-14:10] Current Status/Challenges of China's Aluminum Industry and the Path to Energy Transformation Pan Cunxiang Xinjiang Nonferrous Metals Industry Association In recent years, generation-grid-load-storage integration projects have been accelerating in the mining sector, mainly driven by global energy transition and the "dual carbon" goals. By early 2025, multiple provinces in China had advanced related projects, such as the sixth and seventh batches in Henan with a combined new energy capacity exceeding 900MW (including wind, solar, and storage), covering industrial and rural scenarios; Tibet reducing dependence on traditional energy through green electricity self-supply in mining areas; and Inner Mongolia Ordos and other places implementing PV + ESS projects, such as a PV power station generating 970 million kWh annually, with mobile ESS enhancing stability. In the future, policy support (such as new energy planning), technological upgrades (smart microgrids), and cost reduction needs in the mining industry will drive this field towards large-scale and intelligent development, becoming a core support for the green transformation of the mining industry. However, these projects also come with multiple legal challenges, facing risks related to compliance, environment, technical safety, contracts, intellectual property, and policy changes. Therefore, mining companies need to strengthen compliance review mechanisms, improve contract clause design, strictly control technical safety standards, and establish insurance protection systems to achieve sustainable development with manageable risks. SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (shortened as SMM) is set to launch the New Energy PV ESS Forum at CLNB 2025 (10th) New Energy Industry Expo from April 16-18, 2025. Ma Yuqi, Senior Partner and Head of the Mining and Energy M&A Restructuring Department at Beijing Yuren Law Firm, will be an invited guest to discuss the legal risks and prevention measures for generation-grid-load-storage integration projects applied to mining enterprises.

[Porsche May Acquire Shares in Battery Enterprise] German battery manufacturer Varta AG is discussing two restructuring plans, which may involve the acquisition of shares by luxury sports carmaker Porsche. The two restructuring plans include a potential new investor plan (involving the current major Austrian shareholder Michael Tojner and Porsche) and another plan for financial creditors. Valued at 440 million euros (approximately 3.45 billion yuan), Varta said earlier this month that it was in negotiations with Porsche on the possibility of investing in its large-scale lithium-ion battery business unit, V4Drive. The two companies have signed a non-binding letter of intent for investment and are finalizing the details. If the cooperation is successful, Porsche will own a majority stake in V4Drive.
