6 FAQs about China power energy storage record

How big is China's energy storage capacity?

The most notable finding: by the end of 2024, China had reached 73.76 GW / 168 GWh in cumulative new energy storage capacity—an increase of more than 130% year-on-year. This figure accounts for over 40% of the global total, consolidating China's leading position in the international NES market.

Will China reach 30gw of energy storage by 2025?

The deployment of “new type” energy storage capacity almost quadrupled in 2023 in China, increasing to 31.4GW, up from just 8.7GW in 2022, according to data from the National Energy Administration (NEA). This means that China surpassed its target of reaching 30GW of the “new type” energy storage by 2025 two years earlier than planned.

How much energy storage does China have in 2023?

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).

What is China's Energy Storage plan?

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.

Where does China's storage capacity come from?

The majority of China's storage capacity comes from large-scale storage projects, such as hydropower with reservoirs on the Yangtze River and gigawatt-level battery energy storage systems in Inner Mongolia.
