FAQS
What is new-type energy storage?
This year, “new-type energy storage” has emerged as a buzzword. Unlike traditional energy, new energy sources typically fluctuate with natural conditions. Advanced storage solutions can store excess power during peak generation and release it when needed, enabling greater reliance on renewables as a primary energy source.
What is new energy storage?
New energy storage refers to energy-storage technologies other than conventional pump storage. An energy-storage system charges when wind power or photovoltaic power generates a large volume of electricity or when the power consumption is low, and it discharges otherwise. China's operational efficiency of new energy storage continues to improve.
Why is new energy storage important?
"New energy storage plays an essential regulatory role in the new power system, significantly promoting the development and consumption of renewable energy," Bian said. New energy storage features a high intensity of technology and a long industrial chain, and encompasses multiple sectors.
Will China's new energy storage sector grow in 2024?
BEIJING, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- China's new energy storage sector has seen a rapid growth in 2024, with installed capacity surpassing 70 million kilowatts, said an official with the National Energy Administration (NEA).
How long will energy storage projects last in 2024?
Regarding storage duration, the share of new energy storage projects with a duration of four hours or more increased to 15.4 percent in 2024, up by about 3 percentage points since the end of 2023.
Is energy storage a good idea for small businesses?
On a smaller scale, energy storage is unlocking new economic opportunities for small businesses. By integrating renewable power with agriculture, individuals can store and supply excess energy, enhancing national grid resilience and diversity while generating profit. China has been a global leader in renewable energy for a decade.

Latest news on the mozambique-zambia pumped hydro energy storage project
Mozambique has taken a major step towards becoming a regional exporter of clean, renewable energy by signing an agreement with a consortium led by French power giant EDF to build the new $5 billion Mphanda Nkuwa hydropower project.[Free PDF Download]
FAQS
Can Mozambique's hydropower plant speed-track national and regional decarbonization objectives?
Unveiling plans for a high-level event at COP28, Mozambique’s Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy contends the plant can fast-track national and regional decarbonization objectives through affordable, flexible hydropower.
Can Mozambique leverage untapped hydro resources?
Mozambique is keen that it can leverage immense but largely untapped hydro resources to simultaneously address multiple policy priorities. With an estimated 19,000MW of hydro potential centred around its sprawling river network, the country has set a goal for hydro to account for over half its generation mix by 2030.
What are the UK's first pumped storage hydropower schemes?
Another first was recently announced by Gilkes Energy in the UK, who released details of its planned 900MW Earba Storage Project in Scotland, the company’s first pumped storage hydropower scheme. Earba Storage Project will store up to 33,000 MWh of energy, making it the largest such scheme in the UK in terms of energy stored.
What is the Marmora pumped storage project?
Earlier this year, OPG and Northland Power proposed a first-of-a-kind project for Canada that would develop a pumped storage project at an inactive, open-pit iron ore mine. The Marmora Pumped Storage Project would be a 400MW closed-loop pumped storage facility that could power up to 400,000 homes at peak demand for up to five hours.
What happened at Jinzhai pumped storage power plant in China?
In late January, it was announced by GE Hydro Solutions that all four units at the 1.2GW Jinzhai pumped storage power plant in China were successfully connected to the grid and have completed 15 days of trial operation.
Can pumped hydro-energy storage be used in the UK?
In February, it was announced that, in partnership with the University of Greenwich and the University of Exeter, UK firm RheEnergise had secured a grant of £1 million from the UK government to help identify and test waste materials that could be used as part of a new form of pumped hydro-energy storage.
