On March 21, 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) jointly released the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage Technologies during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period (the 14 th FYP for Energy Storage), which calls for a wider ecosystem of government and private entities to build the energy storage sector and emphasizes the role of market forces, including generation utilities and independent service providers, in investing in storage projects.

Total investment in building energy storage projects has exceeded 100 billion yuan since 2021, making the sector a “new driving force” for China’s economic development, said Bian Guangqi, an NEA official.
Figure 2: Cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects commissioned in China (as of the end of June 2023) In the first half of 2023, China's new energy storage continued to develop at a high speed, with 850 projects (including planning, under construction and commissioned projects), more than twice that of the same period last year.
China’s energy storage sector nearly quadrupled its capacity from new technologies such as lithium-ion batteries over the past year, after attracting more than 100 billion yuan (US$13.9 billion) in direct investment over the past couple of years.
[WANG ZHENG/FOR CHINA DAILY] China's power storage capacity is on the cusp of growth, fueled by rapid advances in the renewable energy industry, innovative technologies and ambitious government policies aimed at driving sustainable development, experts said.
Throughout 2020, energy storage industry development in China displayed five major characteristics: 1. New Integration Trends Appeared The integration of renewable energy with energy storage became a general trend in 2020.
Of this global capacity, China’s operational energy storage project capacity totaled 32.7GW, a growth of 4.1% compared to Q2 of 2019. Global operational electrochemical energy storage project capacity totaled 10,112.3MW, surpassing a major milestone of 10GW, an increase of 36.1% compared to Q2 of 2019.

This article will focus on the top 10 industrial and commercial energy storage manufacturers in China including BYD, JD Energy, Great Power, SERMATEC, NR Electric, HOENERGY, Robestec, AlphaESS, TMR ENERGY, Potis Edge, explore how they stand out in the fierce market competition, and how they lead the development direction of China and the global energy storage industry.

The China Energy Map offers a comprehensive, interactive visualization of key energy infrastructure across China Since its initial launch as the Baker Institute China Oil Map in February 2019, the map has undergone significant development and continues to expand. Originally focused on oil infrastructure, with layers. . In the 2024 update, we transitioned the map to ArcGIS Experience, enhancing usability and interactivity. The new interface features a right. . Click on an icon or line on the map to view detailed facility-level information in the popup tooltip, including the facility name, operator, status, year of commissioning, designed capacity, and additional infrastructure details.. . The data collated and presented to date in the map account for a significant portion of the total known capacity in China We will frequently update the map as we learn more about infrastructure we already have included, as well as newly. . As of October 2024, the map includes the layers below. Note that all infrastructure layers include announced, permitted, under construction, and operational facilities, excluding. [pdf]
Includes oil ports, refineries, and storage facilities; crude and refined product pipelines; coal and nuclear power plants; and EV battery factories. Refreshed interactive map of China's energy infrastructure. Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy issued an update to its interactive China Energy Map launched last year.
By clicking an icon or line on the map, facility-level information is displayed in the popup tooltip, including facility name, operator, status, year online, designed capacity, and additional infrastructure details. As of April 2021, the China Energy Map had the following total coverage by infrastructure type:
HOUSTON – (April 14, 2022) – Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy has released its latest China Energy Map, an open-source, interactive chart of the country’s energy infrastructure.
The goal of the map project is to provide an open, comprehensive, and regularly updated source of energy infrastructure data to help facilitate improved analysis by a broad range of participants. The map provides an online visualization of key energy infrastructure.
Since July 2020, it now features 13 additional layers, including natural gas infrastructure, coal, nuclear, wind, solar power plants, hydrogen infrastructure, carbon capture projects, mining operations, and electric vehicle (EV) battery factories, providing a more complete picture of China's energy system.
Data displayed on the China Energy Map has been confirmed with multiple sources before mapping. Specifically, with the difficulties of tracking individual EV battery manufacturers, we verified each EVB facility with recent job postings in addition to company websites/lookup pages.
