How much energy storage does China have in 2023?

By the end of 2023, China had completed and put into operation a cumulative installed capacity of new type energy storage projects reaching 31.4GW / 66.9GWh, with an average storage duration of 2.1 hours. The newly added installed capacity in 2023 was approximately 22.6GW / 48.7GWh, which is three times that for 2022 (7.3GW / 15.9GWh).

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.

How many energy storage projects are there in China?

As of the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of energy storage projects in China reached 59.4 GW. /CFP As of the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of energy storage projects in China reached 59.4 GW. /CFP

How big is China's energy storage capacity?

As of the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of energy storage projects in China reached 59.4 gigawatts (GW), with pumped storage taking up to about 77 percent and new energy storage accounting for about 22 percent, according to Chen Haisheng, a researcher from the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Why is energy storage technology needed in China?

In China, RES are experiencing rapid development. However, because of the randomness of RES and the volatility of power output, energy storage technology is needed to chip peak off and fill valley up, promoting RES utilization and economic performance.

What are the application scenarios of energy storage in China?

It also introduces the application scenarios of energy storage on the power generation side, transmission and distribution side, user side and microgrid of the power system in detail. Section 3 introduces six business models of energy storage in China and analyzes their practical applications.
