The amount suggests energy storage capacity shall rise to 220GW in ten years. Currently, China has an installed capacity of 35.6GW, of which 31.79 GW is pumped hydro, and 3.269 GW is electrochemical storage. Lithium battery contributed 2.9GW, over 90% of the electrochemical capacity. It means that storage—regardless of the technology …
