BYD & SEC: World''s Largest Grid-Scale Energy Storage Project
A milestone in global energy storage BYD Energy Storage and SEC have signed a landmark contract for what is now the world''s largest grid-scale energy storage project, with an
Globally, energy storage project development is increasingly driven by the utility-scale segment, with mandates and targeted auctions driving gigawatt-hour projects in markets like China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia and Chile.
In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.
The commission said earlier it will introduce a plan for new energy storage development for 2021-25 and beyond, while local energy authorities should also make plans for the scale and project layout of new energy storage systems in their regions.
New energy storage refers to electricity storage processes that use electrochemical, compressed air, flywheel and supercapacitor systems but not pumped hydro, which uses water stored behind dams to generate electricity when needed.
The country has vowed to realize the full market-oriented development of new energy storage by 2030, as part of efforts to boost renewable power consumption while ensuring stable operation of the electric grid system, a statement released by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration said.
In 2022, they accounted for 90% of global energy storage-related fundraising deals (China for 46%, the US for 31%, and Europe for 13% respectively), raising USD 2.9 billion, USD 2 billion, and USD 800 million, respectively (Figure
