Why did China double its energy storage capacity in 2022?

Power lines in Yichun, China. China almost quadrupled its energy storage capacity from new technologies last year, as the nation works to buttress its rapidly expanding but unreliable renewables sector and wean itself off dirty coal. Capacity rose to 31.4 gigawatts, from just 8.7 gigawatts in 2022, the National Energy Administration said Thursday.

How has China's energy storage sector benefited from new technologies?

China’s energy storage sector nearly quadrupled its capacity from new technologies such as lithium-ion batteries over the past year, after attracting more than 100 billion yuan (US$13.9 billion) in direct investment over the past couple of years.

What is the future of energy storage in China?

In China, generation-side and grid-side energy storage dominate, making up 97% of newly deployed energy storage capacity in 2023. 2023 was a breakthrough year for industrial and commercial energy storage in China. Projections show significant growth for the future.

Why is energy storage important in China?

Developing energy storage is an important step in China's transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, while mitigating the effect of new energy's randomness, volatility and intermittence on the grid and managing power supply and demand, he said.
