China Encouraged to Transition from Coal to Battery Storage Following California's Model
ENERGY STORAGE
China is encouraged to shift from coal to battery storage, inspired by California's success, where batteries now account for 25% of peak demand. With the U.S. battery storage market growing over 60% annually, China could meet 60% of its flexibility needs through this technology by 2030, provided it enhances market mechanisms and battery utilization. This transition could position China as a leader in battery technology while significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
