U.S. Drafts Ban on Chinese Energy Inverters Over Security Fears. The Trump administration is drafting a rule that would ban imports of foreign-made energy inverters, with Chinese manufacturers expected to be the primary target, according to Reuters. The proposal is being developed by the Federal Communications Commission amid fears that inverters used for battery storage could be remotely manipulated to disrupt electricity supplies. The move would significantly expand Washington's efforts to restrict Chinese technology in critical infrastructure, following earlier actions against telecommunications equipment and drones. China dominates the global inverter market through companies such as Huawei and Sungrow, whose products are widely used in renewable energy projects. The U.S. Department of Defence already prohibits foreign-made inverters at military installations, while some European governments have introduced similar restrictions. Chinese officials and manufacturers reject the security allegations, arguing that the measures unfairly target Chinese technology.
