What is the energy storage plan?
The plan outlined 21 key measures, including scaling up energy storage applications in power generation and grid infrastructure, accelerating technological innovation, and improving standardization. It also emphasized talent development and enhancing international cooperation in the sector.
What is the new energy storage action plan?
The new action plan, grounded in the nation’s dual carbon goals, aims to grow the national new energy storage fleet to 180 GW by . It responds to the urgent need for flexible energy regulation amid rapid renewable energy expansion.
Why is energy storage important?
Officials from the National Energy Administration emphasized that energy storage is now essential for stabilizing the power system and meeting growing electricity demands. The plan also comes at a critical moment.
How has technology impacted the energy storage sector?
Technological developments and market uptake have already had a positive impact on the storage sector: the costs of battery storage are down by 93% since , according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Pumped storage hydropower is the largest energy storage technology globally.
What does Xinghua's new plan mean for energy storage?
New plan calls for expansion of energy-storage applications, including more projects in desert areas and at retired coal-fired power plant sites. The newly appointed Xinghua chair professor at Tsinghua University remains involved in six European research projects.
Should energy storage be co-optimized?
Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible. Goals that aim for zero emissions are more complex and expensive than net-zero goals that use negative emissions technologies to achieve a reduction of 100%.
