A report from the China Electricity Council (CEC), released on March 29, titled “2024 Statistical Report on Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Stations,” details this expansion. It notes that the total capacity more than doubled compared to the previous year, driven by larger projects, enhanced efficiency, and improved safety measures.
By the end of 2023, China had completed and put into operation a cumulative installed capacity of new type energy storage projects reaching 31.4GW / 66.9GWh, with an average storage duration of 2.1 hours. The newly added installed capacity in 2023 was approximately 22.6GW / 48.7GWh, which is three times that for 2022 (7.3GW / 15.9GWh).
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 capacity is likely to surpass 200GW by 2030, more than double the 2024 level of 73.76GW.
There was a total of 1,473 operational electrochemical energy storage stations by the end of 2024, with a total installed capacity of 62.13GW/141.37GWh, according to data from the National Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Station Safety Monitoring Information Platform.
China's electrochemical energy storage industry experienced significant growth in 2024, with installed capacity surging past previous records. A report from the China Electricity Council (CEC), released on March 29, titled “2024 Statistical Report on Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Stations,” details this expansion.
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.
