1802 ET - Chinese battery manufacturers are expected to capitalize for some time on rising demand from U.S. developers of energy-storage systems, despite the limitations that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act imposed on the use of Chinese equipment in clean-energy projects, according to Jefferies. The investment bank cites battery makers CATL and Sungrow as "best positioned" to benefit. "While foreign-entity-of-concern requirements pose challenges, we expect continued deployment of Chinese [battery systems] via safe harbored inventory procured prior to Jan. 1 2026," when such restrictions for new projects become effective, the investment bank says. "Chinese systems remain meaningfully cheaper and more advanced in energy density and efficiency," Jefferies adds, pointing to an uptick in Chinese exports as evidence of its view.
