China solar energy storage policy 2025

How many gigawatts of energy storage will China have by 2025?

Last July, they had announced a target to install 30 gigawatts of new-type energy storage capacity by 2025. The country will seek breakthroughs in long-duration storage technologies such as compressed air, hydrogen, and thermal energy, and aim for self-reliance in key fields, the plan outlines.

How much energy storage will China add in 2020?

China had 1.2GW/1.7GWh of new non-hydro energy storage additions in 2020, reaching 2.7GW/4GWh of total deployments by the end of last year. We expect China to add 430GW of new solar and wind capacity in the next five years, which could eventually spur 74GW of new storage capacity if up to 20% of the renewables-storage pairing ratio is applied.

What is China's energy storage policy?

China is proposing a policy to accelerate energy storage deployments, with its core a target to take the country’s storage capacity excluding pumped hydro to 30GW by 2025 – triple the level of Wood Mackenzie’s current forecast.

What are the Development Goals for new energy storage in China?

The plan specified development goals for new energy storage in China, by 2025, new energy storage technologies will step into a large-scale development period and meet the conditions for large-scale commercial applications.

Will energy storage support solar and wind plants in China?

At least 10 regions in China have ordered renewable power developers to install energy storage as supporting facilities of the solar and wind plants.

What is China's energy storage capacity in 2022?

In 2022, China’s cumulative installed NTESS capacity exceeded 13.1 GW, with lithium-ion batteries accounting for 94% (equivalent to 28.7% of total global capacity). China is positioning energy storage as a core technology for achieving peak CO2 emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.
