Based on an overview of the current status and policy outcomes of energy storage deployment in China, this research report presents policy recommendations for its scaled-up development in the future.
The Chinese government has promulgated many policies to promote the development of energy storage. The energy storage industry had ushered in a period of development with the release of the 13th Five Year Plan (National Development and Reform Commission, 2016; China Energy Storage Alliance, 2021).
The development of energy storage industry requires promotion of the government in the aspect of technology, subsidies, safety and so on, thereby a complex energy storage policy system has developed. A lack of systematic research specifically regarding energy storage policies in China still prevails.
However, because of the late start of China's energy storage industry, the comprehensive study for the whole industry is very few. We found a review which provided a relatively comprehensive analysis of the technical and economic issue of it. Compared with other studies, its research has a good comprehensiveness.
China's energy storage technology has just started, and the government has already issued relevant policies to promote its industrial development. The Renewable Energy Industry Development Guidance Directory issued in 2005 included two energy storage projects.
