What does the EU & China Partnership do?

In energy, the partnership works on topics such as promoting energy efficient buildings, researching energy technologies, and finding ways to integrate renewable energy into urban areas. The EU and China share common interests and goals for the clean energy transition.

What role does energy storage play in China?

Energy storage systems play an important role in China. By the end of 2018, China had approximately 30 GW of pumped storage power plants and 1 GW of electrochemical storage (batteries) installed. China's government plans to push ahead with the expansion of battery storage facilities for further RES grid integration.

Does China need strategic energy storage?

Contrast to the energy storage of China and the EU, China must develop large-scale strategic energy storage. China has a huge energy consumption market, and the total energy consumption is increasing every year, as shown in Fig. 22. At present, China's total annual energy consumption is maintained at >4 billion tons of standard coal.

What is China's Strategic energy storage equipment?
