【Key Policies】Jieyang City issued the "Jieyang Energy Storage Development Plan (2023-2030)", which plans to reach 1.1 million kilowatts of new energy storage power stations by 2030
On April 8, the Jieyang Municipal Development and Reform Bureau issued the "Jieyang Energy Storage Development Plan (2023-2030)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan").
In 2025, the scale of new energy storage power stations in the city's new energy power generation projects will reach 300,000 kilowatts, 600,000 kilowatts in 2027, and 1.1 million kilowatts in 2030.
In terms of supporting measures for the development of energy storage power stations, the "Planning" points out that 7 major measures, such as supporting the construction of new energy storage with new energy storage, improving the regulation capacity of thermal power, encouraging the development of user-side energy storage, exploring pilot applications such as hydrogen energy storage, promoting the construction of virtual power plants, promoting the pilot demonstration of new energy storage technology innovation, and promoting the sharing and integrated development of energy storage and new infrastructure, aim to realize the transformation of new energy storage from the initial stage of commercialization to large-scale development, gradually cultivate and improve the market environment and business model, and significantly improve the innovation ability of new energy storage technology.
Comments: Under the guidance of the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the mainland is accelerating the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system and promoting the construction of a new power system. By the end of 2023, the cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects that have been completed and put into operation across the country will reach 31.39 million kW/66.87 million kWh, an increase of more than 260% from the end of 2022, showing a strong momentum of development. However, with the rapid growth of installed capacity, the utilization rate of new energy storage has gradually become prominent, and the contradiction between large-scale construction and insufficient utilization needs to be solved urgently.
As an important practice site of the national energy transition strategy, Jieyang City has made remarkable progress in the construction of energy storage facilities in recent years. The successful operation of energy storage frequency modulation projects such as Jinghai Power Plant not only provides strong support for the optimization of local energy structure, but also accumulates valuable experience for the development of new energy storage technologies. The issuance of the "plan" has drawn a clear blueprint for the development of the energy storage industry in Jieyang City. Among them, the target of 1.1 million kilowatts of new energy storage installed capacity in 2030 will undoubtedly greatly promote the large-scale development of the energy storage industry in Jieyang City. At the same time, the supporting measures for the development of energy storage power stations proposed in the policy will help improve the energy storage market mechanism, promote the deep integration of energy storage with new energy, thermal power and other industries, and promote the energy storage industry to move towards marketization and commercialization. Overall, the implementation of this policy will further promote the technological innovation and industrial upgrading of the energy storage industry in Jieyang City, improve the efficiency and reliability of the energy storage system, and contribute more to the energy transition and green development of the mainland. At the same time, the shared and integrated development of new energy storage and new infrastructure will also become an important trend in future development, and jointly promote green and low-carbon development.
