China’s energy storage system (ESS) industry is rapidly growing in 2025, driven by a surge in renewable energy capacity, especially solar power, which has surpassed 1 billion kW. This growth is vital for China to meet its carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. Energy storage technologies like pumped hydro, batteries, and thermal storage help manage the variability of renewables and stabilize the grid.
Despite fast expansion, energy storage capacity still lags behind renewable generation, creating a strong market demand. New policies require all new renewable power to participate in electricity markets, making energy storage essential for profitability.
Safety and efficiency in ESS are increasingly managed by advanced energy management systems, with AI technologies playing a key role in fault detection, operation, and maintenance. Experts stress that AI-driven solutions will accelerate high-quality energy storage deployment, supporting China’s transition from fossil-fuel-centered power to a renewable-based, distributed energy system.
