China is expected to accelerate the development of its compressed air energy storage (CAES) projects to optimize its power grid performance and move in a greener direction.
A compressed air energy storage (CAES) project in Hubei, China, has come online, with 300MW/1,500MWh of capacity. The 5-hour duration project, called Hubei Yingchang, was built in two years with a total investment of CNY1.95 billion (US$270 million) and uses abandoned salt mines in the Yingcheng area of Hubei, China’s sixth-most populous province.
China's total energy storage capacity topped the world at 43.44 GW at the end of 2021. Of all the types of energy storage in China, Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) will represent 10% by 2025 and then surge to 23% by 2030, if all goes to plan.
According to statistics data from Zhiyan Consulting, an industry research institute in Beijing, by the end of 2020, CAES accounted for only 0.2 per cent of the global energy storage market, and only 0.03 per cent in China. However, energy storage systems totalling 4,000MW were installed in 2021, according to a March report in People’s Daily.
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is one technology that has captured the attention of the industry due to its potential for large scalability, cost effectiveness, long lifespan, high level of safety, and low environmental impact.
According to China Energy Storage Alliance, the new plant can store and release up to 400 MWh, at a system design efficiency of 70.4%. That's huge; current compressed air systems are only around 40-52% efficient, and even the two larger Hydrostor CAES plants scheduled to open in California in 2026 are only reported to be around 60% efficient.

Pumped hydro is cost-effective and efficient for large-scale, long-duration storage, while batteries offer greater flexibility and quicker response times. The two technologies can therefore play complementary roles. As of the end of 2023, China had 86 GW of energy storage in place, with pumped storage accounting for 59.3% and battery storage 40.6%.
