What are new-type energy storage systems (ntess)?

The Chinese government is increasingly focused on what it calls “new-type energy storage systems” (NTESS). This category encompasses a range of electricity storage methods, such as electrochemical systems (e.g., batteries), compressed air energy storage, flywheel systems and supercapacitors.

What is the downstream segment of energy storage?

The downstream segment is dominated by mainly state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that provide energy storage applications on the power generation, grid, and user sides, such as State Grid, Energy China and CHN Energy.

What is China's energy storage strategy?

Localities have reiterated the central government’s goal of developing an integrated format of “new energy + storage” (such as “solar + storage”), with a required energy storage allocation rate of between 10% and 20%. China has created an energy storage ecosystem with players throughout the supply chain.

What is China's energy storage capacity in 2022?

In 2022, China’s cumulative installed NTESS capacity exceeded 13.1 GW, with lithium-ion batteries accounting for 94% (equivalent to 28.7% of total global capacity). China is positioning energy storage as a core technology for achieving peak CO2 emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.

What is China's battery storage policy?

Battery storage occupies only a small share of China's power system in this timeframe. From a technology point of view, while the policy does not name any specific storage technologies beyond PHES, lithium-ion batteries are best positioned to scale up to the targeted level.

How can we develop distributed energy sources in the central & eastern regions?

distributed energy sources in the central and eastern regions. We will take ordered steps to develop offshore wind energy, speed up the construction of hydropower bases in the southwestern regions, develop coastal nuclear power in a safe and careful manner, and build a batch
