What is the cumulative installed capacity of energy storage projects?

The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects is 21.1GW/44.6GWh, and the power and energy scale have increased by more than 225% year-on-year. Figure 1: Cumulative installed capacity (MW%) of electric energy storage projects commissioned in China (as of the end of June 2023)

How has energy storage been developed?

Energy storage first passed through a technical verification phase during the 12th Five-year Plan period, followed by a second phase of project demonstrations and promotion during the 13th Five-year Plan period. These phases have laid a solid foundation for the development of technologies and applications for large-scale development.

What is the growth rate of industrial energy storage?

The majority of the growth is due to forklifts (8% CAGR). UPS and data centers show moderate growth (4% CAGR) and telecom backup battery demand shows the lowest growth level (2% CAGR) through 2030. Figure 8. Projected global industrial energy storage deployments by application

What drives energy storage investment?

Much of the growth in energy storage investment is being driven by mandates and targeted subsidies, ranging from solar and wind co-location mandates in China, to the Inflation Reduction Act and state-level policies in the US. New support schemes are also emerging across Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Latin America.

Which energy storage technologies have been made a breakthrough?

Breakthroughs have been made in a variety of energy storage technologies. Lithium-ion battery development trends continued toward greater capacities and longer lifespans. CATL developed new LiFePO batteries which offer ultra long life capabilities, while BYD launched "blade" batteries to further improve battery cell capacities.
