The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has catalysed the rapid growth of renewable energy worldwide. However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy requires the support of energy storage sy.
What are energy storage policies?
These policies are mostly concentrated around battery storage system, which is considered to be the fastest growing energy storage technology due to its efficiency, flexibility and rapidly decreasing cost. ESS policies are primarily found in regions with highly developed economies, that have advanced knowledge and expertise in the sector.
What are the industrial policies for energy storage?
The industrial policies for energy storage are complex and diverse. The development of energy storage industry requires promotion of the government in the aspect of technology, subsidies, safety and so on, thereby a complex energy storage policy system has developed.
1) Improve the policy system. China's energy storage policy needs more centralized and unified rules like corporate financing policies, taxation policies, subsidies, price policies, and evaluation policies for energy storage demonstration projects.
The public is the recipient of the government's energy storage policies, and their psychological perceptions and opinions of policies, that is, how they evaluate energy storage policies, will affect their wishes and behaviors.
The energy storage policies selected in this paper were all from the state and provincial committees from 2010 to 2020. A total of 254 policy documents were retrieved.
How can policy makers promote the development of energy storage?
With the development of energy storage, policy makers need to design policies more scientifically and take a systematic approach to promote the development of energy storage. There are few comprehensive studies of Chinese energy storage policies.
