China has released details of dozens of pioneering energy storage projects under development as it looks to build out capacity to match its booming wind and solar sectors.

China’s “extraordinary” growth in green power was recently hailed by the International Energy Agency as helping keep the COP28 climate summit’s goal of tripling renewables by 2030 within reach.

Last year, China commissioned as much solar as the entire world did in 2022, while its wind power additions also rose by 66% year-on-year.
