How to judge the progress of energy storage industry in China?

Chen Haisheng, Chairman of the China Energy Storage Alliance: When judging the progress of an industry, we must take a rational view that considers the overall situation, development, and long-term perspective. In regard to the overall situation, the development of energy storage in China is still proceeding at a fast pace.

How many new energy storage projects are commissioned in China?

Figure 2: Cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects commissioned in China (as of the end of June 2023) In the first half of 2023, China's new energy storage continued to develop at a high speed, with 850 projects (including planning, under construction and commissioned projects), more than twice that of the same period last year.

How important is utility-scale energy storage in Europe?

Among these, utility-scale ESS installations accounted for 2GW, representing 44% of the total power. EASE predicts that in 2023, new European energy storage installations will surpass 6GW, with utility-scale ESS installations expected to be at least 3.5GW. This points to the growing significance of utility-scale energy storage in Europe.

Which countries have the highest demand for energy storage in Europe?

The demand for large-sized energy storage is primarily being fueled by government tenders and market-based projects, signaling a robust growth momentum. Furthermore, Germany, Britain, and Italy stand out as the three countries with the most substantial installed demand in Europe.

How much energy storage capacity does the energy storage industry have?

New operational electrochemical energy storage capacity totaled 519.6 MW/855.0 MWh (note: final data to be released in the CNESA 2020 Energy Storage Industry White Paper). In 2019, overall growth in the development of electrical energy storage projects slowed, as the industry entered a period of rational adjustment.

What is trendforce's forecast for energy storage in Europe?

In light of this, TrendForce anticipates a substantial increase in new energy storage installations in Europe, expecting to reach 16.8 GW/30.5 GWh – a notable surge of 38% and 53%, sustaining a period of high growth.
