China to nearly double battery storage to 180 GW
China plans to nearly double its new energy storage capacity to 180 GW by 2027, under a state-backed industry roadmap that foresees 250 billion yuan (US$35 billion) of investment:
View DetailsTherefore, direct investment in future energy storage technologies is the best choice when new technologies are already available. At this stage, the investment threshold for energy storage to involvement in China's peaking auxiliary services is 0.1068 USD/kWh.
Meanwhile, China's policy uncertainty in energy storage technology investment presents as a valuable case study for other countries. Furthermore, the findings of this study are particularly helpful for energy storage investors and policymakers, not only in China but also in other countries.
Overall, this study is a further addition to the research system of investment in energy storage, which compensates for the deficiencies in existing studies. The Chinese government has implemented various policies to promote the investment and development of energy storage technology.
This study explores the challenges and opportunities of China's domestic and international roles in scaling up energy storage investments. China aims to increase its share of primary energy from renewable energy sources from 16.6% in 2021 to 25% by 2030, as outlined in the nationally determined contribution .
China's energy storage incentive policies are imperfect, and there are problems such as insufficient local policy implementation and lack of long-term mechanisms . Since the frequency and magnitude of future policy adjustments are not specified, it is impossible for energy storage technology investors to make appropriate investment decisions.
This implies a major shift in energy storage investors to state-owned enterprises (SOEs) from power grid companies such as China Energy, Huaneng, Huadian, and State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) .
