6 FAQs about [New energy storage projects added to the energy storage major]

What is the implementation plan for the development of new energy storage?

In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.

What is new energy storage?

New energy storage refers to energy storage technologies other than conventional pump storage. An energy storage system charges when wind power or photovoltaic power generates a large volume of electricity or when the power consumption is low, and it discharges otherwise. China's operational efficiency of new energy storage continues to improve.

How is the government advancing energy storage technologies?

The government has been continuously advancing energy storage technologies, with several compressed air energy storage, flow battery storage, and sodium-ion battery storage projects put into operation across the nation, Bian Guangqi, an NEA official, said at the conference.

Will China's new energy storage sector grow in 2024?

BEIJING — China's new energy storage sector saw rapid growth in 2024, with installed capacity surpassing 70 million kilowatts, said an official with the National Energy Administration.

Will the energy storage industry thrive in the next stage?

The energy storage industry is going through a critical period of transition from the early commercial stage to development on a large scale. Whether it can thrive in the next stage depends on its economics.

Why are energy storage technologies important?

They are also strategically important for international competition. KPMG China and the Electric Transportation & Energy Storage Association of the China Electricity Council (‘CEC’) released the New Energy Storage Technologies Empower Energy Transition report at the 2023 China International Energy Storage Conference.
