Top 10: Energy Storage Projects | Energy Magazine
From the UK to the UEA and USA to Australia, Energy Digital Magazine runs through 10 of the most impressive energy storage projects
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.

WANG ZHENG/FOR CHINA DAILY China has been stepping up construction of new energy storage in recent years to build a new power system in the country amid its green energy transition, said authority.
In terms of installed capacity, new energy storage power stations are now being built in a more centralized way and large scale with longer storage duration period, said the administration.
They are also strategically important for international competition. KPMG China and the Electric Transportation & Energy Storage Association of the China Electricity Council ('CEC') released the New Energy Storage Technologies Empower Energy Transition report at the 2023 China International Energy Storage Conference.
