" Energy storage is crucial for China’s green transition, as the country needs an advanced, efficient, and affordable energy storage system to respond to the challenge in power generation. According to Trend Force, China’s energy storage market is expected to break through 100 gigawatt hours (GWh) by 2025. It is set to become the world’s fastest-growing energy storage market, overtaking Europe and the United States. "

" China plans to promote larger-scale use of non-hydro energy storage technologies at lower costs in order to backup the world’s biggest fleet of wind and solar power plants.
The country aims to cut the cost of electrochemical energy storage systems by 30% by 2025, according to a five-year plan released by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration. "

" China will promote storage technologies and green hydrogen production in accordance with a massive wind and solar capacity build-out in desert areas, so as to allow exports of large-scale clean energy to other regions, the plan said. The country will also explore storage technologies for power produced by offshore wind farms, so as to reduce transmission capacity needs and improve the utilization rate of the electricity generated.
