How much energy storage will China have by ?
For the 14th Five-Year Plan, the China State Council set a national target of installing 30 gigawatts (GW) of non-hydro energy storage by , while provincial goals were more ambitious. Clear policy guidance and strong renewables growth make energy storage a rising star in China’s clean energy technology industry.
What was the average bid price for non-hydro energy storage systems in Q3?
In the first three quarters, the average bid price for domestic non-hydro energy storage systems (0.5C lithium iron phosphate systems) was 622.90 RMB/kWh, a year-on-year decline of 50%. While bid prices remained relatively stable in the first half of the year, they reached a historic low of 578.11 RMB/kWh in Q3, particularly in September.
Should project developers buy energy storage systems?
It’s no secret that many project developers purchase energy storage systems only to meet the mandatory integration policy. These developers are hungry for low-cost storage products on the market with little care about the quality and performance, as they know those systems may never be used.
According to local news reports, the tender attracted 76 bidders with quoted prices ranging from US$60-82 per kWh, averaging US$66.3 per kWh. Based on the 16GWh quantity, that implies a total contract value of roughly US$1 billion.China announces procurement of sodium-ion batteries
