Instructions following the meeting on developing energy storage systems

The Russian government has been instructed to develop a comprehensive program for energy storage systems until 2042, focusing on balancing production and use while prioritizing domestically manufactured systems. The initiative aims to integrate these technologies into various sectors including electric vehicle charging stations, residential buildings, and data centers.

Manufacturing focus

The government, working with Rosatom and other entities, will create conditions for private companies to develop technological solutions for manufacturing accumulators and energy storage systems. They will also draft a roadmap to localize production, including investment projects for critical raw materials and components.

Technological cluster

A technological electrochemistry cluster is planned for Moscow, designed to support new technology companies focusing on key development areas. The initiative will involve preferential treatment and state support measures to foster innovation in energy storage technologies.

Safety considerations

The government, in collaboration with the Emergencies Ministry, will address fire safety features for energy storage systems throughout their lifecycle, including the premises where these products are installed and used.
