Is China entering a new era of energy storage demand?
Mainland China accounts for most of the global energy storage demand, driven in the near term by regional requirements for new utility-scale wind and solar projects to include energy storage capacity. However, the Chinese market is entering an era of change.
How big is China's energy storage capacity?
The most notable finding: by the end of , 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.
What drives energy storage project development?
Globally, energy storage project development is increasingly driven by the utility-scale segment, with mandates and targeted auctions driving gigawatt-hour projects in markets like China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia and Chile.
Does Cnesa have a role in China's new energy storage capacity?
CNESA’s involvement reflects the report’s collaborative yet government-led nature, ensuring data integrity and broad sectoral representation. The most notable finding: by the end of , China had reached 73.76 GW / 168 GWh in cumulative new energy storage capacity—an increase of more than 130% year-on-year.
How long does energy storage last in ?
Highlights from the Energy Storage Report According to the NEA, saw the addition of 42.37 GW / 101 GWh in new NES capacity. The average storage duration rose to 2.3 hours, reflecting ongoing improvements in system design and grid integration.
How will wind & solar payments work in ?
New policy introduced in February requires wind and solar payment mechanisms to move toward more market-based structures, where 100% of wind and solar generation is to be traded in the wholesale market with local governments left to define their own implementation details by the end of the year.
