2016 NDRC and NEA
The 13th Five-Year Plan for
Energy Development
The plan states that China will
channel resources into renewable
energy, especially into connecting
new energy, energy storage and
microgrids to the grid; build the
Energy Internet (Internet +);
improve grid regulations; develop
advanced and energy-efficient
technologies; and strive to become
the leader in energy technology
2016 NDRC
The 13th Five-Year Plan for
Renewable Energy Development
Identifies eight priority tasks, one
of which is to develop energy
storage technology demonstration
projects in renewable energy and
improve the cost-effectiveness of
energy storage
2016 State Council
The 13th Five-Year Development
Plan for Strategic Emerging
Industries
Develop a new energy industry;
accelerate the development of
advanced nuclear power, solar PV
and CSP, large-scale wind power,
energy storage and distributed
energy; improve the
cost-effectiveness of new energy
and build and adapt the electricity
system to support a large share of
new energy; facilitate
multi-energy systems and their
coordination and optimisation;
and lead the energy production
and consumption revolutions
2017 NEA
Guidelines for Developing Energy
Storage Technologies and an
Energy Storage Industry
The strategic importance of
energy storage in China’s energy
industry is made clear for the first
time. It sets out the development
goals for energy storage over the
next 10 years and underscores five
priority projects related to energy
storage
2017 NEA
Guidelines for Energy Work 2017 Identifies several energy storage
projects throughout the country
that were to be completed or
started in 2017
2017 The Special Committee of Energy
Storage under the China Strategic
Alliance of Smart Energy
Industrial Technology Innovation,
the Special Committee of Energy
and Water Supply Prices under the
Price Association of China
Energy Storage Subsidy Policy
Consulting Meetings (1st, 2nd and
3rd rounds)
Energy storage subsidy proposals
for flow cell and all-vanadium
redox flow batteries, and from
Chinese battery manufacturers
CATL and Lishen
In the first meeting, companies
differed greatly in their proposals
on how to subsidise energy
storage. In the third meeting in
2017, the focus was on reaching
agreement on the best way to
proceed
