encouraged to include energy
storage facilities when planning
new centralised power generation
bases and ensure their operation is
coordinated and optimised with
the grid
2016 National Development Reform
Commission (NDRC), NEA
Action Plan for Innovation in the
Energy Technology Revolution
(2016–30)
Create an integrated and
intelligent energy technology
system by: (i) improving the
flexibility and cost-effectiveness
of energy storage and peak
shaving; (ii) promoting deep
integration between energy
technologies and IT;
(iii) optimising the entire energy
system to ensure energy resources
are used effectively; and (iv),
prioritising distributed energy,
energy storage, smart grids, the
Energy Internet and energy
efficiency in industry, buildings
and transport

and Information Technology, and
NEA
Made in China 2025—Energy
Equipment Implementation Plan
Identifies 15 fields for energy
equipment development,
including nuclear power, oil and
gas exploration and development,
gas turbines, smart grids and
energy storage
2016 NDRC and NEA
The 13th Five-Year Plan for
Electricity Development
Advanced grid and energy storage
technologies are listed as one of
18 priorities. The Plan says China
will develop many energy storage
demonstration projects, including
large-scale mechanical and
electrical energy storage, molten
salt and chemical energy storage.
The goal is to reduce significantly
the construction costs per kilowatt
of capacity and accelerate
development and deployment
2016 NEA
The Administrative Regulation for
National Electricity
Demonstration Projects
It states that electricity
demonstration projects will be
included in the national electricity
development plan and defines
clear requirements for their
evaluation, selection and approval.
It also makes clear that
demonstration projects are
covered by the support policies in
the Circular of the National
Energy Administration on the
Regulations for Major National
Energy Technology
Demonstration Projects
