National customer-side energy storage capacity

How big is China's energy storage capacity?

China's installed new-type energy storage capacity had reached 44.44 gigawatts by of the end of June, expanding 40 percent compared with the end of last year, the National Energy Administration (NEA) said on Wednesday. Lithium-ion batteries accounted for 97 percent of China's new-type energy storage capacity at the end of June, the NEA added.

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 will the NEA improve China's energy storage capacity?

The NEA said it will actively strengthen planning, improve standard systems and refine the market mechanism to promote the high-quality development of new-type energy storage. China's energy storage capacity is expanding to facilitate the utilization of growing renewable power amid the country's efforts to advance its green energy transition.

Why is China's energy storage capacity expanding?

BEIJING, July 31 -- China's energy storage capacity is expanding to facilitate the utilization of growing renewable power amid the country's efforts to advance its green energy transition.

Why are China's energy storage devices mainly installed in the demand side?

China's energy storage devices are mainly installed in the demand side with the proportion of 46% and most of them are DG and micro-grid projects. One reason is that China's large electricity demand brought by the large population and growing economy leads a big peak-valley difference.
