Hey fam, big news from the Chinese mainland! ⚡
On Friday, the Chinese mainland’s National Development and Reform Commission and National Energy Administration dropped a game-changing plan to supercharge new-type energy storage between 2025 and 2027. The goal? To install over 180 million kilowatts (that’s 180GW!) of energy storage capacity by 2027. Talk about leveling up the grid! 🌍💡
Why it matters: This boost in storage tech isn’t just a numbers flex—it’s set to stabilize the power grid, support green energy growth, and it could attract around 250 billion yuan (roughly $35.2B) in direct investment. For context, 180GW can power every U.S. household—yep, all of them! 🇺🇸🏡
The plan lays out 21 key measures, including:
- Scaling up storage in power plants and across the grid
- Accelerating tech innovation and industry standards
- Building talent pipelines and boosting international collaboration 🌐
This move is a major step in the Chinese mainland’s journey toward green, low-carbon development and high-quality growth. It also builds on impressive momentum: by the end of 2024, installed new-type energy storage had already hit 73.76GW!
For young entrepreneurs, investors, and eco-conscious explorers, this plan signals fresh opportunities in renewable tech and sustainable projects. Stay tuned as the Chinese mainland powers ahead in the energy storage race! 🚀
