Will China double its energy storage capacity by 2027?

Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. China is looking to almost double its so-called new energy storage capacity to 180 gigawatts (GW) by 2027, according to an industry plan announced by authorities on Friday.

How big is China's energy storage capacity?

Sign up here. Current installed new energy storage capacity, which is made up mostly of lithium-ion battery storage, was 95 GW as of June, the regulator, the National Energy Administration, said in August. China has raced ahead of its energy storage targets in the past.

What is China's energy storage industry?

The China energy storage industry reached USD 99 billion, USD 155.3 billion and USD 223.3 billion in 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively. The pumped hydro technology battery uses excess electricity to pump water from lower to upper reservoir. The technology offers longer duration storage.

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.
