New policy energy storage technology

What is the implementation plan for the development of new energy storage?

In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.

Do policy adjustments affect energy storage technology investments?

The frequency of policy adjustments and the magnitude of subsidy adjustments have different levels of impact on energy storage technology investments. The adverse effect of the subsidy adjustments magnitude is much more significant than the impact of the policy adjustments frequency.

Why are energy storage technologies important?

They are also strategically important for international competition. KPMG China and the Electric Transportation & Energy Storage Association of the China Electricity Council (‘CEC’) released the New Energy Storage Technologies Empower Energy Transition report at the 2023 China International Energy Storage Conference.

Should energy storage investors and policymakers consider incentive policies?

Furthermore, the findings of this study are particularly helpful for energy storage investors and policymakers, not only in China but also in other countries. For example, before designing incentive policies for the energy storage industry, policymakers should consider the intended effect of policy interventions on their targets.

What is new energy storage?

New energy storage refers to electricity storage processes that use electrochemical, compressed air, flywheel and supercapacitor systems, but not pumped hydro, which uses water stored behind dams to generate electricity when needed. Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

How does policy uncertainty affect energy storage technology investment in China?

Policy adjustment frequency and subsidy adjustment magnitude are considered. Technological innovation level can offset adverse effects of policy uncertainty. Current investment in energy storage technology without high economics in China. Subsidies of at least 0.169 yuan/kWh to trigger energy storage technology investment.
