China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.
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.
The decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China. The transportation, building, and industry sectors account, respectively, for 15.3, 18.3, and 66.3% of final energy consumption in China (5).
About one-sixth of excess output ended up in storage systems. China is fast-tracking its renewable-energy installation capacity in its five-year plan through 2025. Here’s what you need to know about energy storage in Asia’s biggest economy.
