China’s Ganfeng Lithium has secured orders through the first half of 2027, driven by rising demand for energy storage systems (ESS) and investments in artificial intelligence data centres (AIDCs). President Wang Xiaoshen noted that production capacity is fully booked, with plans to increase output by 50% next year. The surge in ESS demand is attributed to energy price fluctuations and the growth of AIDCs. Ganfeng's lithium-ion batteries are crucial for stabilizing electricity networks, and the company anticipates significant growth from AIDCs in the future.
