At a monthly press conference held by the National Development and Reform Commission, Li Chao, Deputy Director of the Policy Research Office, emphasized that as the installed capacity and proportion of new energy sources—such as wind power and photovoltaics—continue to rise, the power system's ability to regulate supply and demand has become a critical factor in constructing a modern, sustainable energy system. In recent years, the commission, working in tandem with relevant government departments, has accelerated the development of energy storage and hydrogen energy technologies, achieving notable advancements. China’s energy storage sector has witnessed rapid growth, with diverse technological approaches being explored and validated. Currently, the nation’s installed capacity for new energy storage has surpassed 100 million kilowatts, marking a more than 30-fold increase compared to the figure at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period. This capacity now accounts for over 40% of the global total installed capacity.
