The procurement exercise has attracted 67 battery energy storage companies but only six have emerged as winners. The average bid stood at CNY 0.473/Wh ($65/kWh). Public procurements in China continue to demonstrate exceptionally low price levels for lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage systems (BESS).
To meet the demand from its power system, China will have to cumulate 460 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2030, among which 350 GWh shall be battery or electrochemical energy storage, and 110 GW pumped hydro storage.
China's electrochemical energy storage capacity grew rapidly, with 5 GWh added in 2021 (an 89% year-on-year increase) and 15.3 GWh added in 2022 (a 206% year-on-year increase).
It is nonetheless still eye-opening to note just how big those differences in cost are. The average for a turnkey system in China including 1-hour, 2-hour and 4-hour duration BESS was just US$101/kWh. In the US, the average was US$236/kWh and in Europe US$275/kWh, more than double China’s average cost.
Public procurements in China continue to demonstrate exceptionally low price levels for lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage systems (BESS). In the latest tender, more than 80% of bidders quoted prices below CNY 0.5/Wh ($69/kWh), highlighting the fierce competition in the world’s biggest BESS market.
The long-term solution for China to achieve energy self-sufficiency comprises renewables reaching grid parity and sufficient energy storage capacity. Over the past decade, China has been laying the groundwork, becoming a world leader in PV, onshore wind, and lithium battery industries.
