Leading the commercialization of energy storage

Can energy storage be commercialized?

Energy storage has entered the preliminary commercialization stage from the demonstration project stage in China. Therefore, to realize the large-scale commercialization of energy storage, it is necessary to analyze the business model of energy storage.

When will energy storage enter the stage of large-scale commercialization?

It is expected that from 2021 to 2025, energy storage will enter the stage of large-scale development and have the conditions for large-scale commercialization . The context of the energy storage industry in China is shown in Fig. 1.

When will energy storage technology be commercialized?

By 2025, the large-scale commercialization of new energy storage technologies 1 with more than 30 GW of installed non-hydro energy storage capacity will be achieved; and by 2030, market-oriented development will be realized .

What is the future of energy storage in China?

In China, generation-side and grid-side energy storage dominate, making up 97% of newly deployed energy storage capacity in 2023. 2023 was a breakthrough year for industrial and commercial energy storage in China. Projections show significant growth for the future.

What is a cost-reduction target for energy storage?

A cost-reduction target was introduced to lower the system cost per unit of electrochemical energy storage by at least 30% by 2025, as outlined in the 14th FYP on Energy Storage Development . China’s energy storage capacity accounted for 22% of global installed capacity, reaching 46.1 GW in 2021 .

What is the context of the energy storage industry in China?

The context of the energy storage industry in China is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. The context of the energy storage industry in China [, , ]. As can be seen from Fig. 1, energy storage has achieved a transformation from scientific research to large-scale application within 20 years.
