China''s energy storage capacity has further expanded in the first quarter amid the country''s efforts to advance its green energy transition.
The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in China is expected to exceed 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, according to the Energy Storage Industry Research White Paper 2025 released by the Institute
Developing new energy storage technology is one of the measures China has taken to empower its green transition and high-quality development, as the country is striving for peak carbon emissions in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060.
BEIJING, April 29 (Xinhua) -- China''''s energy storage capacity has further expanded in the first quarter amid the country''''s efforts to advance its green energy transition.
The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in China is expected to exceed 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, according to the Energy Storage Industry Research White Paper 2025 released by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics on 10 April.
The energy storage market presents significant opportunities for foreign investors, especially technology providers. China has set goals to boost its non-pumped hydro energy storage capacity to around 30GW by 2025 and 100GW by 2030 – a more than 3000 percent increase from 3.3GW in
GS Research predicts China will require about 520 gigawatts of storage, more than three-fourths of which will come from batteries— 70 times higher than 2021. The remainder of the storage increases will come from pumped hydropower facilities.
China will need to install around 10,000 gigawatts of wind and solar capacity to reach carbon neutrality by 2060, according to new research.

The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in China is expected to exceed 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, according to the Energy Storage Industry Research White Paper 2025 released by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics on 10 April. The capacity is likely to surpass 200GW by 2030, more than double the 2024 level of 73.76GW.
The new energy storage market in China has great development potential in the future. The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in China is expected to exceed 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, according to the Energy Storage Industry Research White Paper 2025 released by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics on 10 April.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) (dark green) would have an installed capacity of more than 130GW. In addition to dominating installed capacity, wind and solar could account for as much as 94% of China’s electricity generation by 2060, as shown in the figure below.
As of the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of energy storage projects in China reached 59.4 GW. /CFP As of the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of energy storage projects in China reached 59.4 GW. /CFP
From the perspective of energy equipment demand, the scenarios show that by 2060 China’s installed wind and solar power capacity would reach approximately 10,000GW.
