Exploring the Opportunities Amid Rapid Development of Energy Storage and Grid in China

中国在电网升级和能源存储方面的战略投资

China’s Strategic Investment in Grid Upgrades and Energy Storage

中国正在进行重大投资以升级其电网,以支持从煤炭发电向可再生能源的转变。由于当前基础设施的限制,该国计划在未来六年内花费超过 8000 亿美元用于电网改进。仅在今年前四个月,中国在电网项目上投资了 1229 亿元人民币(170 亿美元),同比增长 24.9%。尽管如此,由于电网容量限制,许多地区已经停止了新的小规模太阳能连接,并且一些省份现在要求太阳能运营商使用电池存储来减轻电网压力。像云南和青海这样的地区,尽管可再生能源容量增加,但仍面临着重大的电力供应问题,突显了快速转型的挑战。在各行业电气化和技术进步的推动下,电力需求的增长也超过了 GDP 的增长。电网投资的很大一部分将用于软件改进、超高压线路、本地配电系统和新的输电线路。然而,尽管可再生能源容量显著增加,但快速的新增容量超过了电网升级的速度,导致削减率上升。

China is making significant investments to upgrade its electricity grid to support its shift from coal power to renewable energy. The country plans to spend over $800 billion in the next six years on grid improvements due to current infrastructure limitations. In the first four months of this year alone, China invested RMB 122.9 billion ($17 billion) in power grid projects, marking a 24.9% increase year-on-year. Despite this, many regions have halted new small-scale solar connections due to grid capacity limits, and several provinces now require solar operators to use battery storage to reduce grid strain. Regions like Yunnan and Qinghai face significant power supply issues despite increasing renewable energy capacity, underscoring the challenges of rapid transition. Electricity demand growth is also outpacing GDP growth, driven by the electrification of various sectors and technological advancements. Significant portions of grid investment will go towards software improvements, ultra-high voltage lines, local distribution systems, and new transmission lines. However, despite significant renewable energy capacity, the rapid additions are outpacing grid upgrades, leading to increased curtailment rates.

在中国 2060 年碳中和目标和强有力政策支持的推动下,中国基于新技术(尤其是锂离子电池)的储能能力实现了快速增长。截至 2024 年 3 月,“新型”能源存储部门超过了 35 吉瓦(GW),较 2023 年底增长 12%,较上年同期增长 210%。中国西北部地区拥有丰富的风能和太阳能资源,占全国能源存储容量的近 30%。中国的目标是到 2060 年其能源组合的 80%来自非化石燃料。目前,锂离子电池占中国能源存储容量的 97%,其他技术包括电化学、压缩空气、飞轮和热能存储。像特斯拉和宁德时代这样的公司正在大力投资能源存储。特斯拉正在上海建设 Megapack 工厂,宁德时代推出了零容量损失的能源存储系统。到 2030 年,全球能源存储部门预计将达到 137GW,中国将占这一容量的三分之一以上。

China’s energy storage capacity based on new technologies, particularly lithium-ion batteries, has seen rapid growth, driven by the country’s 2060 carbon-neutral goal and strong policy support. The “new type” energy storage sector surpassed 35 gigawatts (GW) by March 2024, showing 12% growth from the end of 2023 and 210% growth from a year earlier. Northwestern China, with its abundant wind and solar resources, accounts for nearly 30% of the country’s energy storage capacity. China aims to have 80% of its total energy mix from non-fossil fuel sources by 2060. Currently, lithium-ion batteries make up 97% of China’s energy storage capacity, with other technologies including electrochemical, compressed air, flywheel, and thermal energy storage. Companies like Tesla and CATL are heavily investing in energy storage. Tesla is building a Megapack factory in Shanghai, and CATL has launched a zero-capacity-loss energy storage system. By 2030, the global energy storage sector is expected to reach 137GW, with China accounting for more than a third of this capacity.
