A total of 44 national and local policies related to energy storage were released in September 2024! Among them, 8 policies were issued at the national level and 41 policies were issued at the local level.

　　According to the specific types of energy storage policies, among the local policies, there are 5 policies on energy storage subsidies, 4 policies on the planning and layout of energy storage, 9 policies on new energy distribution and storage, 10 policies related to the participation of energy storage in the power marketization, 4 policies on energy storage projects, and 9 other related policies.

　　National Policies

　　A total of eight energy storage-related policies have been issued at the national level.

　　Among them, on September 4, the Northeast Energy Regulatory Bureau issued the “Northeast Regional Power Grid Operation Management Implementation Rules” “Northeast Regional Power Ancillary Services Management Implementation Rules”. The new version of the “two rules” clarifies the electrochemical, compressed air, flywheel and other new energy storage power plant market status, can provide AGC, reactive power, a frequency regulation and black start and other auxiliary services, access to reasonable auxiliary services revenue.

　　The rules add a new type of new energy storage power station compensated primary FM service, the primary FM function of the commissioning rate and the actual action of the qualified rate as the threshold for compensation, according to the actual provision of the primary FM contribution to the new energy, the new type of energy storage power station to compensate for the power.

　　Compensated primary FM compensation unit price, take 10,000 yuan / MWh. 6 months after the official implementation of these rules to carry out wind farms, photovoltaic power plants, new energy storage power station primary FM auxiliary service compensation.

　　On September 13, the Energy Law (draft second review draft) for comments.

　　The document mentions that the state promotes the development and utilization of wind and solar energy, insists on centralized and distributed, accelerates the construction of wind power and photovoltaic power generation bases, supports distributed wind power and photovoltaic power generation close to the development and utilization of reasonably orderly development of offshore wind power, and actively develops the photothermal power generation.

　　The country's rational layout, active and orderly development and construction of pumped storage power stations, promote the high-quality development of new energy storage, and give full play to the role of various types of energy storage in the regulation of the power system.

　　On September 24, the National Energy Administration issued a notice on the Basic Rules for Electricity Market Registration.

　　The document makes it clear that these rules are applicable to all types of business entities nationwide power market registration, the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government in accordance with the norms of uniform implementation. Among the basic conditions for new energy storage enterprises:

　　(a) signed with the grid enterprise grid scheduling agreement, access to the power dispatch automation system;.

　　(ii) with power, power data time-sharing metering and transmission conditions, data accuracy and reliability to meet the settlement requirements.

　　(C) meet the maximum charging and discharging power, maximum regulation capacity and continuous charging and discharging time and other corresponding technical conditions, the specific value of the relevant standards or national and local departments shall prevail; (D) the distribution of power, power data and transmission conditions, data accuracy and reliability to meet the settlement requirements.

　　(D) the distribution of new energy storage and its operating body as one, with independent measurement, control and other technical conditions, access to the power dispatch automation system can be grid monitoring and scheduling, with legal personality can choose to turn into an independent new energy storage project, as the operating body to participate directly in the power market transactions.

　　Local policy

　　At the local level, Guangdong, Gansu, Henan, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Anhui, Heilongjiang, Hunan, Qinghai, Shandong, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guizhou, Hebei, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Ningxia, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Yunnan 20 provinces and municipalities issued 41 energy storage-related policies.

　　In terms of energy storage subsidies, Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, proposed in the construction of Dongyang and through the acceptance of the completion of the commissioning of the user-side energy storage, distributed photovoltaic storage, photovoltaic storage and charging integration of the project, the storage system capacity of not less than 200 kilowatts / 400 kilowatt-hours, in accordance with the installed size of the storage facility to give a one-time construction subsidy of 50 yuan / kilowatts, the maximum amount of subsidies for a single project is not more than $ 100,000 yuan.

　　Longhua District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, to obtain municipal funding for new energy storage demonstration and application projects, according to the municipal funding amount of 50% to give no more than 5 million yuan of matching funds. For electrochemical energy storage projects that have been grid-connected and put into operation with an actual investment of more than 5 million yuan, the length of the energy storage configuration is not less than 2 hours, according to 20% of the project investment to give a reward of not more than 3 million yuan.

　　Guangming District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, will grant up to 10 million RMB to key laboratories, industrial innovation centers, manufacturing innovation centers, engineering technology research centers and other innovation platforms recognized and approved by national-level authorities, according to 50% of the actual amount of funding received from municipal-level and above authorities.

　　The release of the policy further demonstrates the determination of China as well as the provinces and regions to promote the diversification of the energy storage industry, and to comprehensively promote the research, development and application of energy storage technologies, which provides strong support for accelerating the large-scale development of the energy storage industry.

　　Right at this moment, the 2024 Third Energy Storage Industry Conference (CEIF3rd) will be held on October 16th in Beijing. At that time, industry experts will discuss and analyze the difficulties and pain points of energy storage, and enterprise representatives will share their successful experiences in the field of energy storage.
