BEIJING, Feb. 17 -- Chinese authorities unveiled several measures on Monday to promote the new-type energy storage manufacturing sector, as part of efforts to accelerate the development of emerging industries and the country's modern industrial system.
The “14th Five-Year Plan” has specified development goals for energy storage also on the provincial level. During the “14th FYP” period, 25 provinces and cities plan to complete 77.65 GW new type storage installation. That scale is more than twice the “14th FYP” target (30 GW) set by the NEA.
“China was on-track to install over 60% of all utility scale storage globally in 2025 and so in the absence of further policy changes, about 45% of global demand has just been wiped away,” Hilton says. The ripple effect on the global demand-supply balance will involve further downward pressure on energy storage prices.
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).
