As of the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of energy storage projects in China reached 59.4 gigawatts (GW), with pumped storage taking up to about 77 percent and new energy storage accounting for about 22 percent, according to Chen Haisheng, a researcher from the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Many Chinese provinces have set energy storage targets since 2021. As shown in the graph below, some provinces will see nearly 100 GW of installed ESS capacity by 2025. More provincial governments introduced regulations for the generation side, the grid side, and the end user side.

In 2023, after the substantial rise in annual installed capacity, the growth of grid-connected capacity is expected to slow, increasing by 37.2% year-on-year to 120 GW. As renewable energy installations surge, China's wind and PV curtailment tick up. Given that, several local authorities pose higher energy storage configuration ratio requirements.
The context of the energy storage industry in China is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. The context of the energy storage industry in China [, , ]. As can be seen from Fig. 1, energy storage has achieved a transformation from scientific research to large-scale application within 20 years.
Energy storage assists wind farms with the storage and transportation of electrical energy. Energy storage projects in North China are currently the most in China. Due to the geographical environment, the power grid in Northwest China cannot supply power to all regions.
