Government subsidies alleviate the financial constraints of energy storage enterprises. Government subsidies promote R&D investment in energy storage enterprises. Differentiated subsidy strategies can generate higher TFP improvement returns. Government subsidies are an important means to guide the development of the energy storage industry.
Government subsidies improve the TFP of energy storage enterprises. The government's “picking winners” subsidy strategy is effective. Government subsidies alleviate the financial constraints of energy storage enterprises. Government subsidies promote R&D investment in energy storage enterprises.
Large ESEs with sufficient collateral and high technological maturity of their energy storage products are more likely to receive government subsidies and external financing from the banking sector. As a result, government subsidies are more effective in alleviating the financing constraints of large-scale ESEs.
Government subsidies may have a stronger effect on the R&D of large-scale ESEs. Currently, the energy storage projects show a trend of continuous scale-up, and large ESEs are more likely to construct large-scale “wind power + PV + energy storage” projects.
It can be concluded that the government's “picking winners” subsidy strategy in energy storage industry is effective. Table 4. MMQR results. Note: Standard errors in parentheses; *,**,*** indicate that the coefficient is significantly different from 0 at 90%, 95% or 99% confidence levels. Q (N%) indicates that TFP is at the N% quantile level. 5.3.
