According to data, the shipment volume of lithium energy storage battey in China in 2020 was 12GWh, with a year-on-year growth of 56%. It is expected that the shipment volume of lithium energy storage batteries in China will reach 98.6GWh by 2025, an increase of 721% compared to 2020.
China’s winning bid price for lithium iron phosphate energy storage in 2022 was largely in the range of USD 0.17-0.24 per watt-hour (Wh). However, the cost of electricity from pumped hydro storage has fallen to USD 0.07 per Wh.
New energy storage also faces high electricity costs, making these storage systems commercially unviable without subsidies. China’s winning bid price for lithium iron phosphate energy storage in 2022 was largely in the range of USD 0.17-0.24 per watt-hour (Wh).
Fitch Solutions estimates there are about nine lithium projects currently being developed in Africa – in Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mali, Ghana and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) but the projects are still small relative to the number of projects being developed in the Americas, Australia and Europe.
In 2022, China’s cumulative installed NTESS capacity exceeded 13.1 GW, with lithium-ion batteries accounting for 94% (equivalent to 28.7% of total global capacity). China is positioning energy storage as a core technology for achieving peak CO2 emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.
Localities have reiterated the central government’s goal of developing an integrated format of “new energy + storage” (such as “solar + storage”), with a required energy storage allocation rate of between 10% and 20%. China has created an energy storage ecosystem with players throughout the supply chain.
