On October 15, during the 2026 World Energy Storage Conference, the International Renewable Energy Agency released “Key Support for Energy Transition: The “Energy Storage+” Paradigm under Cross-border Collaboration. The report pioneered the “Energy Storage+” concept, empowers scenarios through cross-border integration to reduce carbon, and build a zero-carbon innovative application system with energy storage as the core. Irina Radoslavova Stefanova, director of the International Renewable Energy Agency Action Alliance, pointed out that “energy storage+power grid” uses grid-based energy storage technology to ensure continuous and reliable power supply and enhance the resilience of the power system; “energy storage+AI” supports AIDC renewable power supply through allocation and storage to calm sharp fluctuations in computing power load and protect power grid infrastructure; “energy storage+transportation” realizes flexible load adjustment through V2G vehicle network interaction, and relies on electric ships to reduce deep shipping emissions; “energy storage+ industry” uses microload grids to reduce deep shipping emissions; “energy storage+ industry” uses microload grids as power grids Build 100% green power units such as zero-carbon parks and zero-carbon islands, Effectively achieve carbon reduction. In response to the institutional guarantees required for large-scale implementation of “Energy Storage+”, the report suggests that based on the multi-scenario cross-border integration attributes of “Energy Storage+”, it is necessary to clarify the independent asset status of energy storage and its right to participate in the electricity market, promote the unification and mutual recognition of global multi-industry technical standards, improve energy storage diversified income mechanisms such as electricity arbitrage, capacity support and auxiliary services, and strengthen supply chain, cross-border talent training and international regulatory collaboration to provide policy references for “Energy Storage+” to release a wider range of system value.
