3 Frequently Asked Questions about "Urgently halt the construction of energy storage projects"

Is the energy storage mandate a big change?

This is a big change towards rationalization of renewables but hidden within that is a removal of the energy storage mandate,” George Hilton, research and analysis manager at S&P Global, tells ESS News. S&P Global estimates that the storage mandate has driven between 50 and 75% of domestic demand.

How will the energy storage mandate impact China?

S&P Global estimates that the storage mandate has driven between 50 and 75% of domestic demand. With China accounting for around 56% of the global energy storage demand in 2024, the impact of such a policy change will be massive.

How will China's energy storage policy affect global demand?

“China was on-track to install over 60% of all utility scale storage globally in 2025 and so in the absence of further policy changes, about 45% of global demand has just been wiped away,” Hilton says. The ripple effect on the global demand-supply balance will involve further downward pressure on energy storage prices.
