nouvelles de l'entreprise China Aims to Boost Large-Scale Energy Storage to 180 GW by 2027

Beijing — September 2025 — China’s central planners have released a special action plan targeting an installed battery-based energy storage capacity of 180 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2027. The plan outlines investment of approximately RMB 250 billion (~US$35 billion) to support the rollout of large-scale lithium-ion storage systems.
Key details:

• The target assu­mes a near-doubling of current storage capacity in a two-year span.

• The initiative prioritizes integration with solar and wind generation, improving grid flexibility and resilience.

• Leading Chinese battery makers are expected to scale production to meet this new demand.

Impact: This ambitious roadmap will reshape China’s energy storage market, potentially affecting global supply chains, battery material demand, and international competitiveness in the storage sector.
