Will China double its energy storage capacity by 2027?

Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. China is looking to almost double its so-called new energy storage capacity to 180 gigawatts (GW) by 2027, according to an industry plan announced by authorities on Friday.

How big is China's energy storage capacity?

Sign up here. Current installed new energy storage capacity, which is made up mostly of lithium-ion battery storage, was 95 GW as of June, the regulator, the National Energy Administration, said in August. China has raced ahead of its energy storage targets in the past.

What is China's 'new-energy storage system' capacity?

As outlined in the action plan, China’s “new-energy storage system” capacity – primarily based on lithium-ion batteries – is set to exceed 180 gigawatts within two years, up from 95GW as of June.

What is China's energy storage policy & regulatory roadmap?

The policy and regulatory roadmap is aimed at pushing China’s installed base of large-scale energy storage – primarily lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) – to 180GW by the end of 2027.

How big is China's new energy storage fleet?

As of June 2025, China’s new energy storage fleet had surpassed 100 GW, overtaking the pumped hydro additions for the first time, according to data from the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA). 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 2027.
