According to statistics from the CNESA global energy storage project database, by the end of 2019, accumulated operational electrical energy storage project capacity (including physical energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, and molten salt thermal storage) in China totaled 32.3 GW.
CNESA found that around 800.1MW of energy storage project capacity – including thermal molten salt as well as batteries and other technologies – was paired with solar in China by the end of 2019, an increase of 66.8% from figures taken at the end of 2018.
As the world''s largest energy consumer, China is building a smart energy network where storage systems act like giant "power banks" balancing supply and demand.
China currently boasts a multitude of energy storage networks, with 1. Over 300 projects actively in operation, 2. A capacity exceeding 35 gigawatts installed, and 3. A strategic objective to lead globally in renewable energy integration.
According to statistics from the CNESA Global Energy Storage Project Database, by the end of 2019, operational energy storage project capacity in China totaled 32.4GW, accounting for 17.6% of total global capacity, a

China''s energy storage industry entered a period of "rational adjustment" in 2019, as overall growth in new projects and capacity slowed down, yet deployed around 519.6MW/855MWh of new electrochemical energy
According to statistics from the CNESA Global Energy Storage Project Database, by the end of 2019, operational energy storage project capacity in China totaled 32.4GW, accounting for 17.6% of total global capacity, a growth of 3.6% compared to 2018.
In 2019, among new operational electrochemical energy storage projects in China, the top 10 energy storage system integrators in in terms of installed capacity were Sungrow, CLOU Electronics, Hyperstrong, CUBENERGY, Dynavolt Tech, Narada, Shanghai Electric Guoxuan, Ray Power, Zhiguang Energy Storage, and NR Electric.
China''s energy storage industry entered a period of "rational adjustment" in 2019, as overall growth in new projects and capacity slowed down, yet deployed around 519.6MW/855MWh of new electrochemical energy storage capacity domestically.

The feasibility of utility scale liquid air energy storage systems in China is being investigated through a partnership between Japanese industrial giant Sumitomo''''s energy tech subsidiary
In 2019, China’s new operational electrochemical energy storage capacity was distributed primarily in 28 provinces and cities (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan regions). The ten regions with the largest increases in new capacity were Guangdong, Jiangsu, Hunan, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Beijing, Anhui, Shanxi, Zhejiang, and Henan.
The installation of electrochemical energy storage in China saw a steep increase in 2018, with an annual growth rate of 464.4% for new capacity, an amount of growth that is rare to see. Subsequently, the lowering of electrochemical energy storage growth in China in 2019 compared to 2018 should be viewed rationally.
In 2019, overall growth in the development of electrical energy storage projects slowed, as the industry entered a period of rational adjustment. As we enter 2020, how do those in the industry view and understand the future development path for energy storage?
Chen Haisheng, Chairman of the China Energy Storage Alliance: When judging the progress of an industry, we must take a rational view that considers the overall situation, development, and long-term perspective. In regard to the overall situation, the development of energy storage in China is still proceeding at a fast pace.
2019 was a year of rapid development for the application of energy storage technology in the field of transportation. In the automotive field, we saw impressive expansion of NMG battery EVs, LiFePO battery EVs, PHEV models, and 48V hybrid models. Fuel cell passenger cars also provide much to look forward to.
However, the proper index for new investment in energy storage at the grid side is the cost of power supply per unit. Only when the relative history of this index does not increase will it be proven that investment in grid-side energy storage really holds value and can effectively reduce the cost of transmission and distribution.
