China 2022 energy storage battery growth

How big is China's energy storage capacity in 2022?

Their new energy-storage capacity in 2022 accounted for 86 percent of the global total, up 6 percentage points from 2021. The CNESA report estimated that China's cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in 2027 may reach 138.4 gigawatts if the country's provincial-level regions achieve their targets of energy-storage construction.

Will China reach 30gw of energy storage by 2025?

The deployment of “new type” energy storage capacity almost quadrupled in 2023 in China, increasing to 31.4GW, up from just 8.7GW in 2022, according to data from the National Energy Administration (NEA). This means that China surpassed its target of reaching 30GW of the “new type” energy storage by 2025 two years earlier than planned.

What percentage of China's Energy Storage is lithium ion?

As of the end of 2022, lithium-ion battery energy storage took up 94.5 percent of China's new energy storage installed capacity, followed by compressed air energy storage (2 percent), lead-acid (carbon) battery energy storage (1.7 percent), flow battery energy storage (1.6 percent) and other technical routes (0.2 percent).

How big is China's ESS battery capacity?

By the end of 2023, China’s ESS capacity reached 86 gigawatts (GW), with pumped hydro storage accounting for over 59% and battery storage nearing 40%, according to data from the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA). China’s leading battery makers, including EVE, have reported substantial growth in ESS battery deliveries this year.

How does China promote battery storage?

To promote battery storage, China has implemented a number of policies, most notably the gradual rollout since 2017 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).

How a new energy storage system is developing in China?

Dai Jianfeng, a deputy chief engineer of China Electric Power Planning and Engineering Institute, said the new energy storage in China has been developed through diverse technology routes. According to him, lithium-ion battery is still dominant at present, but the development of compressed air and liquid flow battery is accelerating.
