The plan's target represents a significant scaling up, even for the world's leading adopter and producer of energy storage technologies. According to official National Energy Administration data from its recent 'China new energy storage development report 2025,' the country's installed base at the end of 2024 totalled 73.8GW/168GWh.
According to an announcement from the State Council of the People's Republic of China, this would drive about RMB250 billion (US$35.2 billion) in direct project investment. The plan's target represents a significant scaling up, even for the world's leading adopter and producer of energy storage technologies.
According to CNESA data, the capacity of independent energy storage stations planned or under construction in China in the first half of 2022 was 45.3GW, accounting for over 80% of all new energy storage projects planned or under construction.
In terms of developments in China, 19 members of the National Power Safety Production Committee operated a total of 472 electrochemical storage stations as of the end of 2022, with a total stored energy of 14.1GWh, a year-on-year increase of 127%.
However, the scale of new independent energy storage stations put into operation in China in the first three quarters of 2022 was approximately 345.5MW, which was significantly lower than planned or under construction stations. The main reason for this may be that investors lack motivation.
There is an extensive range of application scenarios for industrial and commercial energy storage systems, including industrial parks, data centers, communication base stations, government buildings, shopping malls and hospitals.
Chinese storage providers aren''t just exporting products – they''re establishing new operational blueprints that European utilities are scrambling to adopt. With 56.5 GWh of global contracts
