[By 2030, the scale of new energy storage nationwide will reach 300 million kilowatts] September 12th: Since the beginning of this year, China's new energy storage construction has continued to maintain a rapid development trend. As of the end of June, the installed capacity of new energy storage capacity that had been completed and put into operation nationwide reached 153 million kilowatts/396 million kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 61%. The utilization of new energy storage nationwide is improving year by year. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, the equivalent utilization hours of new energy storage nationwide will reach 611 hours, 911 hours, and 1,195 hours respectively, effectively playing the role of system regulation. Liu Yongdong, deputy secretary-general of the China Electricity Council, said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's new energy storage installed capacity increased by more than 40 times, achieving a historic leap from the early stage of commercialization to large-scale development. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, new energy storage will continue to maintain a high level of growth, with approximately 160 million kilowatts of newly installed capacity expected. According to the plan, by 2030, the scale of new energy storage nationwide will reach 300 million kilowatts, and the independent new energy storage on the grid side that can guarantee peak supply will reach 140 million kilowatts.
