A month after India introduced an energy storage mandate for renewable energy plants and China scrapped its own, Mexico has stepped forward with an ambitious 30% capacity requirement, alongside plans to add a further 574 MW of batteries by 2028.
[pdf] China plans to nearly double its new energy storage capacity to 180 GW by 2027, under a state-backed industry roadmap that foresees 250 billion yuan (US$35 billion) of investment: Current capacity, dominated by lithium-ion batteries, stood at 95 GW as of June.
[pdf] Battery energy storage capacity is the total amount of energy the battery can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh). Think of this as like the size of a water tank where you measure the water capacity in litres.
