<p>The SNEC ES+ 11th International Energy Storage and Battery Technology Exhibition, held from 10 to 12 October 2025 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, concluded with a scale notably below expectations. Contrary to the organizer’s earlier plans for six halls covering 60,000 square metres, only three partially filled halls were opened, with total exhibition space falling short of 30,000 square metres. The absence of top-tier players such as CATL, BYD, Sungrow and HiTHIUM contributed to a quieter atmosphere. Nevertheless, companies like JD Energy and RCT Power demonstrated that innovation in high-integration, high-safety storage systems remains the industry’s primary thrust.</p>
