“The energy storage market is responding to help keep the lights on and support this unprecedented growth in an affordable and reliable way.” But that momentum is now bumping up against policy uncertainty that could derail growth in the near future. Energy storage is no longer limited to early-adopter states like California and Texas.
[Photo/China Daily] The installed capacity of new energy storage projects that were put into operation during the first half of this year in China has reached 8.63 million kilowatts, equivalent to the total installed capacity of previous years in the country, according to the National Energy Administration (NEA).
Mainland China accounts for most of the global energy storage demand, driven in the near term by regional requirements for new utility-scale wind and solar projects to include energy storage capacity. However, the Chinese market is entering an era of change.
