Chinese energy storage companies secured 366 GWh in overseas orders in 2025, a 144% increase, driven by global demand and supportive policies.
Chinese energy storage companies secured 366 gigawatt-hours of overseas orders in 2025, marking a remarkable 144 percent increase from the previous year. This surge was driven by grid instability in Europe and supportive policies in the US and Australia, as reported by Caixin.
Figures released by the China Energy Storage Alliance revealed that more than half of the orders, nearly 200 GWh, were placed in the second half of the year. The group cautioned that order volumes exceeded actual shipments due to long delivery cycles.
The US and Australia emerged as the largest buyers, with Chinese firms booking approximately 50 GWh and 55 GWh of orders, respectively. Additionally, demand rose in the Middle East and South America, with combined shipments to Saudi Arabia, Chile, and the UAE reaching around 20 GWh.
Further demand came from India, Japan, the UK, and Poland, which collectively accounted for another 10 GWh. This surge in orders highlights the growing role of Chinese suppliers in meeting global energy storage needs amid shifting power market dynamics.
