china's large-scale energy storage

How big is China's energy storage capacity?

As of the first half of , China’s cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage reached 101.3 GW, surpassing 100 GW for the first time, which is 32 times that of the end of the “13th Five-Year Plan.”

Where does China's storage capacity come from?

The majority of China’s storage capacity comes from large-scale storage projects, such as hydropower with reservoirs on the Yangtze River and gigawatt-level battery energy storage systems in Inner Mongolia.

What is the new type energy storage industry in China?

The remaining half is comprised primarily of batteries and emerging technologies, such as compressed air, flywheel, as well as thermal energy. These technologies, known as the “ new type ” energy storage in China, have seen rapid growth in recent years. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the “new type” sector.

Why is energy storage important in China?

Experts said developing energy storage is an important step in China's transition from fossil fuels to a renewable energy mix, while mitigating the impact of new energy's randomness, volatility, intermittence on the grid and managing power supply and demand.

How much energy storage does China have in ?

By the end of , China had completed and put into operation a cumulative installed capacity of new type energy storage projects reaching 31.4GW / 66.9GWh, with an average storage duration of 2.1 hours. The newly added installed capacity in was approximately 22.6GW / 48.7GWh, which is three times that for (7.3GW / 15.9GWh).

How does China promote battery storage?

To promote battery storage, China has implemented a number of policies, most notably the gradual rollout since of the “mandatory allocation of energy storage” policy (强制配储政策), which is also known as the “ new energy plus storage ” model (新能源+储能).

The policy and regulatory roadmap is aimed at pushing China’s installed base of large-scale energy storage – primarily lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) – to 180GW by the end of .
