China targets 180 GW of new energy storage by 2027 in
China aims to add more than 100 GW of new energy storage (primarily battery storage, excluding pumped hydro) by 2027, according to a new action plan presented by
The sector is becoming a “new driving force” for economic growth, attracting over 100 billion yuan (about $13.9 billion) in investment since 2021, and driving further expansion of upstream and downstream industrial chains. This success prompted the government to raise its energy storage target by a third, to 40 GW, by 2025.
As of June 2025, China's new energy storage fleet had surpassed 100 GW, overtaking the pumped hydro additions for the first time, according to data from the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA). The new action plan, grounded in the nation's dual carbon goals, aims to grow the national new energy storage fleet to 180 GW by 2027.
