ENERGY STORAGE POLICY NEWS OUAGADOUGOU LATEST

Interpretation of the latest oil storage policy
One recent publication, ANSI/IIAR 6-2025, has introduced a change regarding the storage of oil within machinery rooms. This update impacts how facilities manage their compressor oil and highlights a temporary but important difference with an existing standard. At the end of calendar year 2024, SPR inventory consisted of approximately 394 Mbbl of crude oil in underground storage caverns located in Texas and Louisiana. Reduced demand and falling oil prices have led to a surplus in oil inventories resulting in owners/operators considering options for either expanding existing oil storage capacity or establishing new oil storage facilities. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil was established primarily to reduce the impact of disruptions in supplies of petroleum products and to carry out obligations of the United States under the international energy program.

The latest news on xihai s new solar container policy
The analysis reveals that three converging factors -- polysilicon consolidation, supply-side production cuts, and the cancellation of China's 13% VAT export rebate -- will drive solar module prices up by approximately 9% in Q4 2025, with further increases expected through 2026. China’s solar power installations jumped by 30% in October from September, as capacity additions rebounded from the summer months, which had seen a new renewables pricing mechanism alarming investors. On September 20th, the first phase lithium carbonate project of Luopu Xihai New Energy Materials Co. was put into operation at the Kungang Economic and Technological Development Zone (Nonferrous Metals Industrial Park) in Luopu County, Hotan Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. China’s 2025 renewable energy policy shift marks a move from fixed feed-in tariffs (FITs) to a market-driven pricing model for solar PV. 4 -- At a new energy industry investor briefing organized by the Star Market, solar panel makers listed on Shanghai’s Nasdaq-like trading board emphasized energy storage expansion and welcomed a government-led anti-involution campaign intended to curtail fierce low-price competition.
