BEIJING, Sept. 12 -- China on Friday unveiled an action plan to promote the development of new forms of energy storage between 2025 and 2027, amid efforts to support green energy transition and ensure the stability of new-type power systems.
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.
The policy and regulatory roadmap is aimed at pushing China's installed base of large-scale energy storage – primarily lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) – to 180GW by the end of 2027.
The move is part of China's broader push toward a green, low-carbon energy transition as well as high-quality economic and social development. It builds on significant growth in the sector. As of the end of 2024, the country's installed capacity of new-type energy storage had reached 73.76 million kilowatts, according to official data.
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. The China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA) trade group said this represented a 130% year-on-year increase and about 40% of the global total.
As China accelerates the deployment of renewable energy, the stability of the power system faces persistent operational constraints. Energy storage, serving as a pivotal enabling technology for the energy transition, has witnessed rapid development nationwide.
