China''s National Energy Administration (NEA) has released the China New Energy Storage Development Report 2025, marking the first official and comprehensive government report dedicated to the country''s rapidly advancing new energy storage (NES) sector.
The government''s long-term goal is to position China as a global manufacturing powerhouse in energy storage, contributing to the efficient development and utilization of renewable energy resources
PowerChina has begun construction on what is claimed to be the world''s largest generation-side electrochemical energy storage project.
At the beginning of this year, the NEA released a list of 56 new-type energy storage pilot demonstration projects, including 17 lithium-ion battery projects and 11 compressed air energy storage projects, among others.
By the end of 2023, China had completed and put into operation a cumulative installed capacity of new type energy storage projects reaching 31.4GW / 66.9GWh, with an average storage duration of 2.1 hours.
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
The project covers a total area of 130 acres, with a total construction area of 10393.22 square meters. It will build an energy storage power station, including a battery container, an inverter integrated machine container, and a new 220kV booster station.
China has been stepping up construction of new energy storage in recent years to build a new power system in the country amid its green energy transition, said authority.

WANG ZHENG/FOR CHINA DAILY China has been stepping up construction of new energy storage in recent years to build a new power system in the country amid its green energy transition, said authority.
By the end of 2023, China had completed and put into operation a cumulative installed capacity of new type energy storage projects reaching 31.4GW / 66.9GWh, with an average storage duration of 2.1 hours. The newly added installed capacity in 2023 was approximately 22.6GW / 48.7GWh, which is three times that for 2022 (7.3GW / 15.9GWh).
The country's new energy storage sector, which is currently in its early stages, is expected to evolve from a nascent market player to a global leader in the coming years, they said.
[Photo/Xinhua] China's energy storage industry is set to experience significant growth through 2027, fueled by a combination of growing market demand and supportive government policies, according to industry experts and company executives.
It is the largest grid-connected CAES project of its size in the world, engineering firm China Energy Engineering Corporation claimed in its announcement of the project (or specifically, the first in the world of that scale). The project is owned by China Energy Construction Digital Group and State Grid Hubei Integrated Energy Services Co.
Both China Energy Engineering Corporation and China Energy Construction Digital Group are part of government-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. The project was built three to four times quicker than a pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) plant would need (6-8 years), China Energy Engineering added.
