China 2025 energy storage plan

Will China expand its energy storage capacity by 2025?

China aims to further develop its new energy storage capacity, which is expected to advance from the initial stage of commercialization to large-scale development by 2025, with an installed capacity of more than 30 million kilowatts, regulators said.

What are the Development Goals for new energy storage in China?

The plan specified development goals for new energy storage in China, by 2025, new energy storage technologies will step into a large-scale development period and meet the conditions for large-scale commercial applications.

Will China cut the cost of electrochemical energy storage systems?

The country aims to cut the cost of electrochemical energy storage systems by 30% by 2025, according to a five-year plan released by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration.

Will energy storage be commercialized by 2030?

The two agencies also plan to complete the commercialization of new-type energy storage systems --meaning all technologies except pumped hydro -- by 2030. Last July, they had announced a target to install 30 gigawatts of new-type energy storage capacity by 2025.

What is China's energy storage capacity?

China has total energy storage capacity of about 35 GW as of 2020, of which only 3.3 GW was new energy storage, according to the China Energy Storage Alliance.

Will energy storage cost decrease by 30 percent by 2025?

"While the cost-learning curve is still relatively slow now, the 14th Five-Year-Plan (2021-25) has made a clear goal for the per unit cost of energy storage to decrease by 30 percent by 2025. This will hopefully accelerate the industry pace." China is currently the world's biggest power generator.
