The majority of the increased installed energy storage capacity after 2019 has been on the power supply side, with a few existing energy storage projects in operation being connected to grids.
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
Figure 2: Cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects commissioned in China (as of the end of June 2023) In the first half of
China''s new energy storage sector has seen a rapid growth in 2024, with installed capacity surpassing 70 million kilowatts, said an official with the National Energy
The China New Energy Storage Development Report 2025 represents a major milestone in the institutionalization of NES planning and governance in China. By quantifying
As of the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of energy storage projects in China reached 59.4 GW. /CFP As of the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of energy storage projects in China reached 59.4 GW. /CFP
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.
The new energy storage market in China has great development potential in the future. The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in China is expected to exceed 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, according to the Energy Storage Industry Research White Paper 2025 released by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics on 10 April.
The most optimistic estimate for China's wind power development among the simulation results of BEF60 scenarios shows that the installed capacity can reach 3043 GW in 2060. It indicates an average annual additional capacity of 69 GW, which is 265% higher than the value (i.e. 26 GW) during 2010–2020 (CEC, 2021), as illustrated in Fig. 2.
The maximum value of the estimated result for solar power installed capacity in 2060 is 2210 GW, implying an average of 49 GW of additional installed capacity per year, whereas the average annual additional installed capacity is 42 GW during 2015–2020 (CEC, 2021).
Under BEF60 scenarios, the most optimistic results show that the installed capacity is estimated to reach 1131 GW in 2060. The median value of all is 410 GW, which requires an average annual increase of about 9 GW and is much higher than before.
