China scraps energy storage mandate for renewable energy plants
In a major policy shift towards electricity market liberalization, China has introduced contract for difference (CfD) auctions for renewable energy plants and removed the energy storage
This is a big change towards rationalization of renewables but hidden within that is a removal of the energy storage mandate,” George Hilton, research and analysis manager at S&P Global, tells ESS News. S&P Global estimates that the storage mandate has driven between 50 and 75% of domestic demand.
S&P Global estimates that the storage mandate has driven between 50 and 75% of domestic demand. With China accounting for around 56% of the global energy storage demand in 2024, the impact of such a policy change will be massive.
BEIJING, Sept. 12 -- China on Friday unveiled an action plan to promote the development of new forms of energy storage between 2025 and 2027, amid efforts to support green energy transition and ensure the stability of new-type power systems.
The deployment of energy storage will change the development layout of new energy. This paper expounds the policy requirements for the allocation of energy storage, and proposes two economic calculation models for energy storage allocation based on the levelized cost of electricity and the on-grid electricity price in the operating area.
