The plan specified development goals for new energy storage in China, by 2025, new energy storage technologies will step into a large-scale development period and meet the conditions for large-scale commercial applications.
By 2030, new energy storage technologies will develop in a market-oriented way. Newer Post NDRC and the National Energy Administration of China Issued the Medium and Long Term Development Plan for Hydrogen Industry (2021-2035)
The “New Energy Storage Development Implementation Plan (2021-2025),” issued in March 2022 by the NDRC and NEA, aims to reduce the cost of NTESS by over 30% by 2025 and develop independent and controllable core technology and equipment for NTESS by 2030.
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.
During this period, the management system, incentive policies and business models of energy storage were mainly explored. It is expected that from 2021 to 2025, energy storage will enter the stage of large-scale development and have the conditions for large-scale commercialization .
In 2022, industry players raised RMB 32.5 billion in Series A and Series B funding, accounting for 66% of the total (Figure 16). From a regional perspective, energy storage enterprises in the top 10 provinces raised a total of RMB 45.3 billion in 2022, accounting for 92% of the national total.
