China's new energy storage achieved leapfrog development in 2023, and also had the rapid growth of the new energy storage industry. The cumulative installation of global energy storage in 2023 In 2023, the cumulative installation of global energy storage was about 294.1GW.
In July 2022, the China Energy Construction Corporation began construction of the first solar thermal storage demonstration project in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, with 10 MW of thermal storage and 90 MW of solar power. In particular, China showcased its climate leadership in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
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.
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.
According to Shu Yinbiao, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the utilization rate of new energy storage in China is not high, with the average utilization rate indexes for grid-side, user-side, and mandatory allocation of new energy storage projects reaching 38 percent, 65 percent and 17 percent, respectively.
Developing energy storage is an important step in China's transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, while mitigating the effect of new energy's randomness, volatility and intermittence on the grid and managing power supply and demand, he said.
