5 FAQs about [Bloomberg energy storage China]
Why did China double its energy storage capacity in 2022?
Power lines in Yichun, China. China almost quadrupled its energy storage capacity from new technologies last year, as the nation works to buttress its rapidly expanding but unreliable renewables sector and wean itself off dirty coal. Capacity rose to 31.4 gigawatts, from just 8.7 gigawatts in 2022, the National Energy Administration said Thursday.
Why is energy storage a problem in China?
The big problem is incentives. Most of China’s energy storage is developed because of provincial requirements that large wind and solar farms either build or rent storage space in order to get permitted.
Why is energy storage so important in China?
Most of China’s energy storage is developed because of provincial requirements that large wind and solar farms either build or rent storage space in order to get permitted. That gives companies a reason to construct systems in order to deliver profitable renewables plants, but little motivation to make sure they’re used.
