How big is China's energy storage capacity?

According to incomplete statistics from CNESA DataLink Global Energy Storage Database, by the end of June 2023, the cumulative installed capacity of electrical energy storage projects commissioned in China was 70.2GW, with a year-on-year increase of 44%.

Why is China launching a national energy storage Industry Innovation Alliance?

[Photo/China News Service] China came up with a national energy storage industry innovation alliance on Monday aiming to further boost the country's energy storage sector, as the country aims to promote large-scale use of energy storage technologies at lower costs to back up the world's biggest fleet of wind and solar power plants.

How many new energy storage projects are commissioned in China?

Figure 2: Cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects commissioned in China (as of the end of June 2023) In the first half of 2023, China's new energy storage continued to develop at a high speed, with 850 projects (including planning, under construction and commissioned projects), more than twice that of the same period last year.

Why is China embracing new-type energy storage?

The new-type energy storage sector is embracing massive opportunities in China as the country has been promoting storage technologies in accordance with a massive wind and solar capacity build-out to allow exports of large-scale clean energy to other regions, Li said.

Will a boom in energy storage solve China's supply-demand mismatch?

A boom in energy storage, mostly through large battery packs for grid-level storage, should also alleviate the supply-demand mismatch on China’s grid over the long term. Goldman Sachs analysts have forecast a 70-fold increase in battery storage in 2030 from 2021 levels.

How can China achieve a coal-use Plateau in the near future?

“With the increasing electricity demand due to ‘electrification of everything’ . . . it is essential for China to prioritise power grid building, upgrading and modernisation, as well as deploying enough battery storage capacity, in order to plateau coal-use in the near future,” she added.
