This year, CNESA in collaboration with the China Association for Science and Technology, National Energy Administration, and China Energy Research Society kicked off the first annual energy storage Innovation Competition to recognize outstanding storage projects, technologies, and individuals for their contributions to the industry. The evaluations committee comprised of experts from Tsinghua University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and North China Electric Power University selected finalists from an open nominations process taking place from December 2016 to March 2017. Finalists chosen in each category were entered into an online voting platform via the Chinese messaging service, WeChat, where public votes accounting for a portion of the final score, the remaining portion of the score coming from the evaluation committee’s final deliberations in May of 2017.
On May 23, 2017, the winners were announced during the opening ceremony of the 6th Annual Energy Storage International Conference & Expo. CNESA offers congratulations to the entries listed below and a heartfelt thanks to all who participated in this year’s competition.
