Despite the Chinese government's introduction of a range of policies to motivate energy storage technology investment, the investment in this field in China still faces a multitude of challenges . The most critical challenge among them is the high level of policy uncertainty.
Subsidies of at least 0.169 yuan/kWh to trigger energy storage technology investment. Energy storage technology is one of the critical supporting technologies to achieve carbon neutrality target. However, the investment in energy storage technology in China faces policy and other uncertain factors.
Despite this rapid growth, China’s energy storage industry is still in its infancy, and crises has arrived much earlier than expected. A persisting price war and overcapacity weigh on profits Back in 2021 and 2022, battery supply was the biggest bottleneck for the energy storage supply chain.
The most critical challenge among them is the high level of policy uncertainty. China's energy storage incentive policies are imperfect, and there are problems such as insufficient local policy implementation and lack of long-term mechanisms .
While energy storage development is accelerating in China and other higher-income countries, the share of investment volume in storage technologies out of all forms of clean energy investments is very small.
Energy storage is developing rapidly with the advantages of high flexibility, fast response time, and ample room for technological progress. China encourages energy storage to provide auxiliary power services to meet the needs of new power systems.
