Beijing Targets Perovskite Solar Cell R&D, 600 MW New Energy Storage in 15th Five-Year Plan

The emphasis on perovskite and solid-state battery R&D signals that Beijing is pushing the capital's new-energy strategy toward next-generation technology rather than simply scaling mature capacity, which matters for equipment makers and research institutions positioned around those supply chains. The 600 MW storage target is modest in national terms but gives local project developers and battery suppliers a defined pipeline. Whether the plan translates into concrete procurement and funding mechanisms is the open question, and how much of the R&D push stays in Beijing versus flowing to manufacturing hubs elsewhere is worth watching.
