"BESS NEWS" will publish an analysis of METI's 36th WG materials, showing next-gen batteries are moving from performance to implementation competition. Nissan's solid-state batteries and Idemitsu's electrolytes have reached pilot stages. The piece warns that BESS projects shouldn't be judged just by initial yields. Investors must treat them as long-term assets, carefully evaluating post-degradation revenue, warranties, remote control capabilities, removal costs, and recycling policies.
