Well, here's something you might've missed: Chinese energy storage companies have secured over 18.5 GWh of European contracts in Q1 2025 alone [3] [8]. From Britain's 4.4 GWh Thorpe Marsh project powered by Sungrow's liquid-cooled systems [4] to BYD's 1.6 GWh deal in Poland [9], these partnerships. .
With the global energy storage market projected to hit $546 billion by 2035 [5], cross-border collaborations are no longer optional. Both regions have rolled up their sleeves to tackle grid instability and renewable intermittency through bold policy frameworks. But here’s the kicker: China-Europe. .
(CarbonBrief, 23 Jan 2025) China’s energy storage sector is rapidly expanding. As a solution to balancing the country’s growing energy needs and mass renewable energy production, the industry has attracted investments worth hundreds of billions of yuan (tens of billions of dollars). This has seen.

What is the future of energy storage in China?
The new energy storage market in China has great development potential in the future. The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in China is expected to exceed 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, according to the Energy Storage Industry Research White Paper 2025 released by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics on 10 April.
How big is China's energy storage capacity?
The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in China is expected to exceed 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, according to the Energy Storage Industry Research White Paper 2025 released by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics on 10 April. The capacity is likely to surpass 200GW by 2030, more than double the 2024 level of 73.76GW.
How does China's energy storage system perform in 2024?
The platform data also showed that in 2024, China saw significant improvement in the operational performance of electrochemical energy storage compared to the previous year. The average annual operation time was 1,649 hours, an increase of around 510 hours compared to 2023.
What is China's Energy Storage plan?
The plan’s target represents a significant scaling up, even for the world’s leading adopter and producer of energy storage technologies. According to official National Energy Administration data from its recent ‘China new energy storage development report 2025,’ the country’s installed base at the end of 2024 totalled 73.8GW/168GWh.
DGEG technicians say the mechanism could unlock "well above 500 MW" of new storage by the end of 2025, pushing the country towards the 2 GW storage target in the PNEC 2030 roadmap..

A total of 43 projects were selected from 79 applications in Portugal’s 2025 energy storage procurement. This included six projects from Spain’s Iberdrola, which secured nearly €20 million ($20.6 million) in public funding. From ESS News Portugal’s Ministry of Energy has announced that it has. .
When renewables supplied roughly 80% of Portugal’s electricity in July 2025, prices in the wholesale market briefly slid below zero—great for generators selling excess electrons, confusing for consumers who still paid standard tariffs. Batteries smooth out those extremes, allowing energy to be. .
The growth of solar and wind generation by 2030 could result in 3-5 TWh of curtailment which storage can capture during solar peaks, then discharge to meet evening demand when renewable generation declines. Storage provides real-time flexibility, enabling participation in balancing markets and.
