According to the data tracking of China’s International Energy Network the combined targets for pumped hydropower and battery energy storage announced from China’s provinces now run to 98 GW for 2025. Because many provinces have yet to announce targets, one can estimate that the combined targets could grow to perhaps 200 GW, and then actual development could be even higher than that. Rethink Energy’s forecast for energy storage for China is 108 GW by 2025. For general energy storage (batteries plus miscellaneous) the announced targets sum to 54.85 GW, coming from twenty provinces – up from 39.7 GW from twelve provinces back in May. The biggest targets are found in Qinghai and Gansu, well-placed to hold solar power from the…
