[WANG ZHENG/FOR CHINA DAILY] China's power storage capacity is on the cusp of growth, fueled by rapid advances in the renewable energy industry, innovative technologies and ambitious government policies aimed at driving sustainable development, experts said.
Important step 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.
The remaining half is comprised primarily of batteries and emerging technologies, such as compressed air, flywheel, as well as thermal energy. These technologies, known as the “ new type ” energy storage in China, have seen rapid growth in recent years. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the “new type” sector.
Chen Haisheng, Chairman of CNESA, noted: "China’s CAES technology has advanced from 100 MW to 300 MW in a decade, setting a new global benchmark." The Energy Storage Industry White Paper 2025 reveals that global new energy storage installations reached 165.4 GW in 2024, with China contributing 43.7 GW of new capacity.
Industry projections indicate that China's compressed air energy storage capacity will exceed 50 GW by 2030, enabling annual CO₂ emission reductions of over 200 million tons - equivalent to shutting down 60 one-gigawatt coal-fired power plants - thereby providing robust support for building a new-type power system.
