What is China's energy storage strategy?

Localities have reiterated the central government’s goal of developing an integrated format of “new energy + storage” (such as “solar + storage”), with a required energy storage allocation rate of between 10% and 20%. China has created an energy storage ecosystem with players throughout the supply chain.

What is China's energy storage capacity in 2022?

In 2022, China’s cumulative installed NTESS capacity exceeded 13.1 GW, with lithium-ion batteries accounting for 94% (equivalent to 28.7% of total global capacity). China is positioning energy storage as a core technology for achieving peak CO2 emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.

Are China's energy investment levels aligned with National Energy and climate goals?

Overall energy investment levels in China are comparable to the amounts required to meet national energy and climate goals, although full alignment with the targets implies a rebalancing away from investments in fossil fuel supply, towards grids and the end-use sectors. World Energy Investment 2024 - Analysis and key findings.

How much does energy storage cost in China?

New energy storage also faces high electricity costs, making these storage systems commercially unviable without subsidies. China’s winning bid price for lithium iron phosphate energy storage in 2022 was largely in the range of USD 0.17-0.24 per watt-hour (Wh).

How much money has been invested in China's new energy storage station?

The project has a total investment of approximately 4.5 billion yuan, covering an area of 24,900 mu. It is divided into 315 sub-arrays and is currently the largest single energy storage station under construction on the domestic grid side.

Does China's Energy Strategy include coal and coal-fired power?

While China aims to ensure that coal and coal-fired power will play a supporting role in its energy system, these developments reflect a strong emphasis on energy security in China's energy strategy.
