“In 2025, China’s deployments of new energy storage reached 66.43GW/189.48GWh, with power and energy capacity increasing by 52% and 73% year-on-year respectively,” disclosed Chen Haisheng, chairman of the China Energy Storage Alliance, at a conference to launch the report. China’s new energy storage sector has evolved from a user-side focus (35%) to being led by independent energy storage projects (58%). The proportion of new energy storage paired with renewable energy facilities remains steady. Each of these regions boasted an installed capacity of over 5GWh, with their combined installed capacity making up nearly 90% of the national total. Over the past five years, the cumulative installed capacity of China’s new energy storage has surged more than 40-fold.
