China s largest energy storage factory

Why did China double its energy storage capacity in 2022?

Power lines in Yichun, China. China almost quadrupled its energy storage capacity from new technologies last year, as the nation works to buttress its rapidly expanding but unreliable renewables sector and wean itself off dirty coal. Capacity rose to 31.4 gigawatts, from just 8.7 gigawatts in 2022, the National Energy Administration said Thursday.

Why is China launching a battery storage boom?

The battery storage boom comes as some provincial governments mandate renewables developers to build or rent capacity, to ensure they capture as much energy as possible from intermittent wind and solar generation. China’s new wind and solar installations probably accounted for well over half the global total last year, according to BloombergNEF.

Will Tesla use China's dominant battery supply chain?

With the new plant, Tesla will take advantage of China’s dominant battery supply chain to increase output of its Megapacks, and to lower their costs, in hopes of meeting the rising global demand for energy storage as the world shifts to using more renewable energy.

How many megapacks will China produce a year?

The factory will initially produce 10,000 Megapack units every year, equal to nearly 40 gigawatt hours of energy storage. The new plant spans an area of approximately 200,000 square meters, with a total investment of around 1.45 billion yuan (about $203.94 million).
